Shocking bus accident in Regensburg: five people in mortal danger!

In the city of Regensburg there was a tragic accident on Monday when two regular buses crashed into each other on the Nibelungen Bridge. About 50 people were injured in this incident, including five people who are in a critical condition. The police are currently investigating the circumstances that led to this serious traffic accident.

The incident occurred at 5:15 p.m. when the two buses drove south and there was a rear -end collision. A police spokeswoman announced that the driver of the rear bus had to be freed from the driver's cab and is also among the seriously injured people. Around 45 of the injured people were brought to nearby hospitals in order to be cared for by a doctor. Such a large contingent of rescue workers, fire brigade and the police were used for several hours to provide the injured and to secure the scene of the accident. The assignment included more than 300 forces, including 110 firefighters and around 170 rescue workers, as well as a rescue helicopter.

The causes of the accident in the focus

remains unclear how the accident could occur. The police have consulted an expert to clarify the exact course of the incident. In the meantime, the Nibelungen Bridge was closed in both directions, which led to considerable traffic disruptions in the city area. In the evening the road was released north, while the oncoming lane remained closed due to cleanup. In the crash, both buses were completely destroyed, which underlines the severity of the accident again.

A similar incident occurred on the same day in Dresden, where a regular bus came off its road on a busy road and got oncoming. 30 people were injured, two of them seriously. Here, too, the cause of the accident is still unknown, but the fire brigade reports that the bus crashed into a tree and then landed on a parked small van.

After the first reports of the accident in Regensburg, it remained unclear which factors led to this tragedy. The specialists are working intensively to find out. The incident in Dresden suggests that there may be a general problem with traffic safety on public transport.
