At least 52 people were injured, ten of them seriously, in a collision between a bus and a truck on the A12 highway in the eastern German province of Brandenburg, DPA reported. Most of the injured were passengers on the bus, which is Polish and was traveling in the direction of Berlin, the police said.
A spokesman for the authorities in the German district of Oder-Spree said that one person is in danger of life. According to the Polish police, all the injured are Polish citizens. They are employees of a German company, a Polish police spokesman told DPA in Warsaw.
All injured persons are adults, said the Polish Consul Marcin Krul. The German authorities did not specify where the bus was traveling to, nor was the exact number of passengers initially clear.
According to the police, a heavy goods vehicle for the transport of dangerous goods collided with a truck that was stopped in front of it on the highway. The driver of the heavy goods vehicle for transporting dangerous goods tried to turn left and avoid the impact, but in his attempt he hit the side of the bus.
The police specified that at the time of the accident, the heavy goods vehicle for transporting dangerous goods was empty, writes BTA.
Just a few weeks ago, there was another accident with a Polish bus in Germany, this time on the A2 highway in the area of the city of Magdeburg, Central Germany. More than 30 people were injured then. According to the police, the reason for this accident was that the bus driver fell asleep.
