Multiple people are killed as a train derails in the German Alps.

A train derailed near an Alpine ski resort in southern Germany today, killing at least three people.

Around 12.15 p.m., the train was travelling north from the German Alps to Munich when many carriages slid off the tracks near Burgrain, near Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

According to local media, three people have been killed, and dozens more have been injured, including 16 who are in critical condition.

According to local news site BR24, ‘all age groups’ are among the injured, with ‘people being hauled through windows’ to safety.

It was unclear how many individuals were on board the train at the time of the collision.

 

Six rescue helicopters, as well as dozens of ambulances, fire engines, cranes, and other rescue equipment, have been dispatched to the location.

While the rescue is being carried out, the line between Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Oberau, which is located north of the accident scene, has been closed.
