At least three people have died and multiple others were seriously injured after a passenger train derailed in southwestern Germany, according to authorities.
The crash took place around 18:10 local time near the town of Riedlingen, close to Stuttgart, as the train travelled a 90-kilometre (55 miles) route between Sigmaringen and Ulm. Approximately 100 people were on board when at least two carriages left the tracks in a forested area.
The cause of the derailment remains unknown, but local media report a storm swept through the region shortly before the crash.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed condolences via a post on X, saying he mourned the victims and was in close contact with Germany’s interior and transport ministers to ensure full support for rescue efforts.
Ulm police confirmed that “three people were killed and other passengers were seriously injured,” while Deutsche Bahn, the national rail operator, acknowledged the incident but said the “exact situation is still unclear.”
The derailment site is now under investigation, with authorities working to determine what caused the deadly accident.
