– Several people have been reported killed while scores are injured following a train crash in Bavaria
– Authorities say two trains collided head on
Emerging reports suggest that nine people have been killed in the southern German state of Bavaria following an early morning train crash.
Rescue operations ongoing at the site of the crash in Germany
The Washington Post reports that two trains were involved in the crash near Bad Aibling in Bavaria.
It was not immediately clear how many people were injured, but a spokeswoman for police in Upper Bavaria confirmed to German news agency DPA that there were deaths.
DPA reported that one train derailed in the crash on Tuesday morning, and several wagons overturned.
It 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.
Wreckage of the collision
Police spokesman Stefan Sonntag has confirmed that trains on a single track between Rosenheim and Holzkirchen collided just before 7am local time.
Mr Sonntag said the scene of the accident is so chaotic, there are no specific details of the number of dead or injured.
However, police at the scene have confirmed that the number of people “very seriously” injured has risen to 15, while the death toll has risen from an initial report of 4 to 9 people killed.
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 BBC reports that although the trains were carrying commuters, local carnival holidays meant no schoolchildren were on board.
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.
By midday, police said all casualties had been removed from the wreckage; however, some reports suggests that two people are still missing.
The German transport minister, Alexander Dobrint, commended the rescue operations, and he also noted that it would be too early to speculate as to the cause of the crash.
Dobrint said the two passenger trains that crashed in Bavaria were on a curve and it appears that neither had time to brake before they hit head-on.
While noting that the stretch was fitted with a safety system designed to automatically stop trains to prevent such a crash, he said: “It’s not clear why it didn’t function, we have to assume that the train drivers had no visual contact and hit each other without braking.”
He added that there are three brain-boxes that need to be recovered to be certain of what went wrong.
The minister said that two of the brain-boxes in question had been recovered, while the search for the third remains ongoing.

President Muhammadu Buhari delivers an address on “Illicit Financial Flows & Corruption: The Challenge of Global Governance”, at the opening ceremony of the Paris Peace Forum held at the Grande Halle de la Villette, Paris on Sunday, November 11, 2018. PHOTO: TWITTER/NIGERIAN PRESIDENCY Several high-profile figures in Nigeria, including a former government minister, have claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari has died and been replaced by a lookalike from Sudan. Tweets, Facebook posts and YouTube videos repeating claims that the leader of Africa’s most populous nation is an imposter called “Jubril” have been shared and viewed over 500,000 times. But there is no evidence to back up the claim and the government has not commented. What are we verifying? Former military ruler Buhari, 75, has made several trips to London for medical treatment since mid-2016. Initially, the presidency claimed he had a “persistent ear infection”. But concern mounted from early last year abo...
