Police spokesman Ingo Heese said the mirrors of a Berlin man's car and the chancellor's vehicle hit each other on Sunday afternoon. It wasn't clear what led to the accident.

Merkel, who is to be sworn in for a third term on Tuesday, appeared unruffled by the experience when she appeared at an event in Berlin hours after the accident.
