At least 3 killed after train crash in Germany

At least three people have been killed and 16 severely injured after a train wrecked in southern Germany.

A police spokesman said the Munich-bound train had been quite full at the time it crashed north of the Bavarian ski resort of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

Around 60 people in total were hurt in the accident, a Garmisch-Partenkirchen district office spokesman said.

Several school students were on board the train, the local newspaper reported.

Pictures showed carriages of the double-decker regional train stuck between tree branches and having rolled down a hill.

People could also be seen being carried away on stretchers.

Police said a major emergency services operation was underway and the rail line was completely closed.
