At least four people were killed and about 30 injured when a train derailed in Germany's south-eastern state of Bavaria, police say...At least four dead after train derails in southern Germany
A train derailment in alpine southern Germany during a bank holiday getaway left at least four people dead and 16 seriously injured, authorities said. The double-decker train, travelling on a regional service from the picturesque resort town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Munich, derailed at about 12.15pm on Friday on an elevated section of track near the municipality of Burgrain, according to police. Three carriages ended up on their sides in a brook next to the rail tracks. Many of the injured had to be lifted upwards through broken windows, a police spokesperson said...I have friends who live near Munich and I have travelled on that line quite often. A beautiful part of the world.
