Germany
train crash: Several killed near Bavarian town of Bad Aibling
Two passenger trains have collided in the German state of Bavaria, with police saying at least eight people have been killed and scores injured.
The
head-on crash happened near Bad Aibling, a spa town about 60km (37 miles) south-east of
Munich.
The
trains' operator said both trains had partially derailed and were wedged into each other.
Police
said rescue teams were trying to free people still trapped in the wreckage.
Regional police said in a tweet (in German) that
eight people were dead and about 100 injured, of whom 50 were seriously hurt.
The
drivers of both trains and two train guards were among those killed, regional broadcaster
Bayerischer Rundfunk said, quoting police.
Rainer
Scharf, of Bavarian police, said that "given the severity of the accident, we believe the
two regional trains collided head-on at a low speed".
Regional
train company Meridian said in a statement that "a tragic accident"
had occurred on a single-track route between Rosenheim and Holzkirchen at about 07:00 local
time (06:00 GMT).
Bernd
Rosenbach, managing director of Bayerische Oberlandbahn, which operates
Meridian trains, told reporters: "The accident is a huge shock for us. We
are doing everything we can to help the travellers, relatives and
workers."
Technical manager Fabian Amini added: "Our thanks go to the
emergency services and workers who gave their help so quickly."
The
scene of the crash is close to the Mangfall river in a hilly and densely wooded region. Casualties were being evacuated by boat and by
helicopter.
Several hundred emergency services personnel were at the scene
and rescue teams from nearby Austria were also helping, local media said.
Although the trains were carrying commuters, local carnival holidays meant no
schoolchildren were on board, according to reports.
