According to the police, at least 18 people were injured in the serious accident – at least one of them seriously. Eight injured people had to be taken to nearby clinics – the seriously injured person even with a helicopter.
The reason for the accident is still clear. The only thing that is certain so far is that the bus had a technical defect on the rear entrance doors.
When the driver got out, the vehicle started moving for unknown reasons and after a few meters crashed into the wall of the house.

Photos show that two cars were also involved in the accident and how paramedics are tending to people sitting on the street. The accident site on Peterstaler Strasse was completely closed.
