Flixbus stayed on its side
According to a police spokeswoman, the bus was on its way from Berlin to Trieste. The vehicle left the road on the highway, struck a guardrail and ultimately ended up on its side. Photos from the accident scene show that it involved a double-decker bus from the Flixbus company.
Initial investigations showed there were two drivers and 40 passengers from Austria, Slovenia, Italy, Germany and Ukraine on board, the spokeswoman said. According to the police, a driver of an oncoming vehicle alerted the emergency services. When they arrived, there were still injured people on the bus. Some of them were removed from the vehicle using hydraulic devices, others using ladders.
Initially, nothing was known about the cause of the accident. According to police, the drivers’ rapid alcohol tests were negative. (An)
