Two freight trains collide on a railway bridge in Munich, Germany, overnight, sending two wagons/carriages off the span and onto a roadway below. Police say one person dies as a result of the crash. Reports state the incident occurs around 1:40 a.m., and that two cars fall from the bridge—about 5 metres—before coming to rest on the street. Emergency services respond and the area is sealed off as cleanup begins. Officials say it is unclear what caused the trains to strike each other on the bridge, though the collision derails at least one train. Police also report that the cargo is not hazardous material, addressing initial uncertainty about what was being carried. Multiple outlets describe the same sequence: a bridge collision involving two freight trains, wagons/carriages tumbling down, one fatality, and an investigation into the cause. The incident remains under police investigation.
