Tamperelainen reports that the tram and a passenger car collided at low speed in the Insinöörinkatu–Orivedenkatu roundabout in Hervanta on Wednesday afternoon. Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the crash.

Both vehicles were travelling from the Duo direction. Their front corners struck shortly before 4 PM. No injuries were reported, and both vehicles remained drivable after the impact.

The collision is one of several recent minor incidents in Hervanta, following a September crash where a tram hit a car at the Nekalantie junction and a separate minor collision that briefly reduced traffic on Hervanta's arterial road.
