A pedestrian was seriously injured after being hit by a tram in Helsinki on Friday afternoon, according to local rescue services.
The injured were taken to hospital for treatment. Tapio Titonen Helsinki Fire Department staff said.
The incident occurred at around 12:30 p.m. at the tram stop next to Hakaniemi Market Square.
According to HSL, the city’s public transport management department, the accident caused other tram lines to temporarily change their routes.
