Many injured in German train accident

In an accident with a freight train and a passenger train in Germany, dozens of people were injured.

The fire brigade and police services are engaged in a major relief operation, as the fire brigade announces on Twitter. The rescue operation is made more difficult because the train cables would hang down. 'Our priority is to free people from the train', writes the fire brigade on Twitter.

Against BILD the federal police would have said that there are 'at least twenty wounded'.
