The head of the German government had earlier been in the car and even talked to the driver. The newspaper Bild reported citing a source in the German military that the driver “was allegedly so fascinated” by the encounter with the Chancellor that she could have forgotten to put on the handbrake.
According to German tabloid Bild, a Renault Trafic with no driver crashed into the Bombardier Global 5000, German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government aircraft, at the Dortmund Airport.
