– 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.

A Court of Appeal sitting in Yola, Adamawa state has reversed the July 15th 2014 impeachment of Murtala Nyako as governor of Adamawa State. The former Governor who was accused of misappropriation of public funds while in office, was impeached after 17 of 25 members of the Adamawa State House of Assembly voted against him at the state house of Assembly. Delivering judgement in an appeal filed by Nyako today February 11th, the Court of Appeal ruled that the process leading to his impeachment contravened the provisions of the Law. Justice Tunde Ayotoye who read the unanimous judgement, said Nyako was not given fair hearing during his impeachment and that his rights were violated by the Assembly members. The court in its ruling, ordered that all his entitlement before and after leaving office should be paid. The judges however dismissed Nyako's appeal to be reinstated as Governor of the state. The judges ruled that his tenure as governor had elapsed.

He wrote; “Woke up to a lot of death threat in Jacky’s inbox all because of how she was put on the spot by Ebuka. For all who watched the show, you’d know that it was Kaffy who said she had a dream and Jackye never mentioned Tacha’s name until she was put on the spot by Ebuka to mention names and I am wondering why Kaffy wasn’t also put on the spot. Kaffy and Jackye bonded like sisters and I expected Kaffy...
