'Very difficult' to reach German train crash site

Two passenger trains have collided in the German state of Bavaria, with police saying at least eight people have been killed and scores injured.

The head-on crash happened near Bad Aibling, a spa town about 60km (37 miles) south-east of Munich.

The trains' operator said both had partially derailed and were wedged into each other.

Local journalist Carina Zimniock said it was ''very difficult'' for rescue teams to reach the crash site.
