Authorities report minor injuries with damage estimated at about €40,000.

Overview

  • Around 7:40 a.m., a school minibus crossed into the oncoming lane in a left-hand curve and struck a small van head-on in Böbing’s town center near the Raiffeisenbank.
  • Those injured included the 27-year-old schoolbus driver, three primary-school children, two accompanying adults, and the 43-year-old driver of the other vehicle, all with light injuries.
  • Emergency responders treated the injured in a nearby bank building, and the children were reported to be in shock.
  • Fire departments from Böbing and Rottenbuch each deployed about 20 personnel, according to local fire commander Peter Erhard.
