Two trains have crashed into each other in a head-on collision in southern Germany, killing at least
nine people. Emergency services tried to reach people trapped in the wreckage after two trains
collided near the town of Bad Aibling, in Bavaria, around 7am local time on Tuesday. 50 were
seriously injured, while around 100 were reported to have more minor injuries.
The early morning crash took place near Bad Aibling in Bavaria, and involved two regional trains
carrying a large number of commuters
Police said one of the trains had derailed and several carriages overturned, and said the final tally of
injuries and fatalities was yet to be confirmed.
A spokeswoman for police in Bavaria said eight rescue helicopters were standing on a lawn near the
entrance to the town of Bad Aibling and further rescue staff were on the way to the scene of the
crash. With so many badly injured in hospital, officers could not rule out the death toll rising further
throughout the day. The death toll continued to rise on Tuesday afternoon, as officials said the
operation to rescue any remaining passengers from the wreckage was complete.
