Two people were killed and eight others injured when a bus carrying tourists swerved off a highway and overturned near the town of Buchloe in Germany's Ostallgäu region on Sunday. The incident occurred around 6 a.m. local time, according to officials cited by the German news agency dpa. Images from the crash site showed the vehicle lying on its side in a wooded area, with rescue crews working nearby. Martin Cornils, a spokesperson for traffic police in nearby Fürstenfeldbruck, confirmed at the scene that the tour group had been traveling to Oktoberfest, the annual beer festival in Munich that had started eight days earlier. The cause of the crash was not immediately known and remains under investigation. Initially, dpa reported that the bus was traveling from Zurich, Switzerland, to Milan, Italy, but officials later clarified that about 35 people were on board—fewer than first estimated—and that all passengers were Filipino nationals. Both bus drivers were unharmed. The accident follows another fatal crash earlier this month, when five people were killed after a Dutch tour bus crashed in eastern Switzerland. The bus slammed into a roadside crash barrier and overturned between the villages of Susch and Zernez in the Alpine canton of Graubünden, injuring 40 others. In another incident related to Oktoberfest, a security guard died after being struck by a ride 10 minutes before his shift was scheduled to end. Aleksandar Spasic, 52, was working at the world-famous beer festival in Germany when he was hit by a descending carriage of the “Hangover” ride. He died at the hospital. Police launched an investigation into his death, and a spokesperson, Thomas Schelshorn, said officers were examining "whether someone can be held responsible." Oktoberfest is one of the world’s largest and most famous beer festivals, held annually in Munich, Germany. It attracts millions of visitors from around the world and features traditional music, food, and beer. The festival typically runs for two weeks, beginning in late September and ending in early October. The recent incidents have raised concerns about safety at the event and for travelers visiting the region. Transport and safety officials are reviewing the circumstances of the recent crashes to determine what factors may have contributed to them. While the causes of the two incidents remain under investigation, the accidents have highlighted the risks associated with large-scale events and long-distance travel. Authorities are working to ensure the safety of both visitors and staff during the ongoing festival.
