Bus Crash
German bus crash leaves ten tourists dead
Ten Polish tourists dead and thirty thought to be injured after their bus crashes into the column of a bridge on main motorway.
AT LEAST TEN people are dead following a bus crash on a main motorway near Berlin.
Around thirty people are reported to be injured, after the bus smashed into the column of a bridge while trying to avoid an oncoming car.
The bus was travelling from Spain to Poland on the A10 between Rangsdorf and Schönefeld, and the motorway was closed as nearly 250 emergency workers tried to free people from the bus and bring them to hospital.
Peter Salender, spokesman for the police in Frankfurt am Oder said there had not been such a serious accident with so many dead in the region for a long time, as reported on German news site The Local.
Of those injured, fourteen are said to be in a serious condition
