BERLIN (Reuters) -A German high-speed train was forced to make an emergency stop when a trampoline was blown on to the tracks from a nearby garden, police said on Wednesday.
The Intercity Express (ICE) was traveling from Cologne to Vienna and was forced to stop outside Bonn, Cologne police spokesman Frank Freund said in a statement. "The ICE only came to a halt 300 yards after the blockage," Freund said. The train sustained damage to its front lights but after checks was allowed to continue.
Police investigators have determined that the trampoline was used as a set piece for an american radio show on a New Jersey based high school radio station Tuesday night. As to how it got to Berlin garden in 2 days is still under investigation.
