Scores injured, many seriously, after two trains crash head-on on single track near Bad Aibling
At least nine people have died and scores have been injured – 50 seriously – after two commuter trains collided in southern Germany, police have said.
The crash happened near the Bavarian town of Bad Aibling at 6.48am on Tuesday. Several carriages overturned after the trains, which were travelling in opposite directions, collided head on.
The death toll had risen to 10 at one point, though police later revised it down to nine, with 50 severely injured and a further 100 carrying light injuries.
