Two Philippine tourists killed in German bus crash
Two Philippine nationals were killed on Sunday when a coach carrying them to the Oktoberfest beer festival in southern Germany overturned on a motorway, police said.
On Sunday, a tourist bus carrying Filipino tourists collided with a vehicle on a highway near Buchloe, west of Munich, Germany, resulting in fatalities and injuries. According to the German news agency dpa, the bus overturned after veering off the road, killing at least two people and injuring at least eight others. German officials cited by dpa reported that the incident occurred around 6 a.m. local time.
The dpa also noted that the coach was traveling from Zurich, Switzerland, toward Milan, Italy. The bus was carrying approximately 40 to 50 passengers, all of whom were Filipino nationals. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. This incident follows a similar crash involving a Dutch tour bus in eastern Switzerland, which killed five people in recent weeks.
