Two dead, 26 injured after coach overturns in southern Germany

Two people were killed and around 25 others slightly injured after a coach overturned on the A96 motorway in southern Germany on Sunday morning. The accident occurred near the town of Buchloe in the eastern Allgäu district of Bavaria, involving a travel group of 40 to 50 people, mainly from the Philippines. A large contingent of rescue workers is deployed at the scene, and the motorway is closed in both directions.

The cause of the accident is under investigation by the public prosecutor’s office. Coach accidents are a recurring cause of serious incidents, with a similar incident in September where five people died in a Dutch coach accident in Switzerland.
