More than 20 are injured including 1 seriously when bus flips over in northeastern Germany
The bus, operated by Flixbus, left the Autobahn motorway in the pre-dawn hours on an exchange leading to the city of Röbel, about 140 kilometers (85 miles) north of Berlin, police said.
The cause of the accident was under investigation.
23 people were injured on the bus carrying 53 passengers and two drivers from Copenhagen to Vienna, according to Flixbus. Rescuers took about two hours to extract one seriously injured victim.
Emergency services, the fire brigade and a rescue helicopter responded. Authorities sealed off the area of the road throughout Friday morning.
Flixbus expressed 'great dismay' that the bus crashed and said it was working with authorities to determine the cause of the incident.

British Grand Prix first practice at Silverstone
Update: Date: 12:19 BST Title: Get Involved - who should Mercedes choose for 2026? Content: #bbcf1, f1@ WhatsApp on 03301231826 At last weekend's Austrian Grand Prix, Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff said it was likelier that George Russell would be at the team next season than Max Verstappen, but did not deny he was speaking to the world champion's representatives. So, imagine you're Toto Wolff and you have to choose between Russell and Verstappen: who do you pick for the all-new 2026 era? Let us know your thoughts on #bbcf1 on X, email f1@ or via WhatsApp on 03301231826. Also use those channels if you're at Silverstone this weekend and want a mention on the page. Update: Date: 12:16 BST Title: Lindblad in for Tsunoda in FP1 Content: There's another home driver to keep an eye out for in first practice, as Arvid Lindblad makes his F1 weekend debut at Red Bull. The 17-year-old Formula 2 driver - who turns 18 in August - was granted a super licence last month and will take the wheel of Yuki Tsunoda's car in the opening hour at Silverstone. Paul Aron is also making his first free practice appearance today. The 21-year-old Estonian is an Alpine reserve driver but he'll be sitting in for Nico Hulkenberg over at Sauber after the two teams reached agreement to share his duties. Update: Date: 12:12 BST Title: Antonelli set for three-place grid penalty Content: Kimi Antonelli brings with him to Silverstone some excess backage from Austria in the form of a three-place grid penalty. The Italian rookie was found to be "fully at fault" by the stewards for the early collision with Max Verstappen - contact that ended both of their races on the opening lap. The Dutchman put his arm around the 18-year-old Mercedes driver after the incident and said: "No one does that on purpose as well so for me, that's not a big deal." Update: Date: 12:09 BST Title: Home drivers ready for Silverstone Content: The British contingent of Lewis Hamilton, Lando Norris, George Russell, Oliver Bearman and Alex Albon - who says he does consider this a home grand prix even though he races under a Thai licence - get to salute their adoring crowd this weekend. For Silverstone record holder Hamilton, he arrives this year not as a Mercedes driver but in the scarlet red of Ferrari. The Italian team's floor upgrade in Austria helped Hamilton to a fourth-placed finish (Charles Leclerc was third), so this would be the perfect circuit to claim his first proper podium of the season, especially after his emotional victory on home turf 12 months ago. Russell took pole here last year but had to retire the car, while Norris finished third and will be one of the favourites for the win this year. Update: Date: 12:06 BST Title: Verstappen has 'nothing to add' on Mercedes rumour Content: Max Verstappen, meanwhile, was swamped by journalists in the paddock yesterday, all eager to hear the Dutchman's thoughts on the latest rumours he could be joining rivals Mercedes for the 2026 season. "I have nothing to add," said Verstapen, who has a contract with Red Bull until 2028, when quizzed about his future. The four-time world champion was also asked by 5 Live's Jennie Gow whether he could imagine driving for another team on the grid. "I've always said to the team it would be ideal - and I think they feel the same way - is of course to finish off my career in Formula 1 with one team," Verstappen replied. "I think that would be something amazing, I think. And that's something that we are still trying to achieve." Update: Date: 12:03 BST Title: I don't think I'll be going anywhere - Russell Content: Andrew BensonBBC F1 correspondent at Silverstone George Russell says he "doesn't think I'll be going anywhere" amid links between his Mercedes team and four-time world champion Max Verstappen. Mercedes have talked to Verstappen's management about the possibility of the Dutchman joining them from Red Bull next year. The 27-year-old Briton is out of contract with the Silver Arrows at the end of this season. "The likelihood I'm not at Mercedes next year, I think, is exceptionally low," said Russell on Thursday. "I know where their loyalty lies. It doesn't need to be public. It doesn't need to be broadcast to everybody. "I feel I'm performing better than ever. And it's as simple as that really. Performance speaks for everything." Read the full story here Update: Date: 12:00 BST Title: Round 12: Silverstone Content: Lorraine McKennaBBC Sport Journalist Hello, folks. July on the F1 calendar means only one thing for us here in the UK: The British Grand Prix. We've arrived at Silverstone - the place where it all began 75 years ago - for round 12 of the 2025 season. The circuit, as you would expect, is packed to the rafters with excited fans who are all hoping for a home victory. First practice gets under way at 12:30 BST. Second practice goes green at 16:00 BST. Austria seven days ago was all about McLaren, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri securing a dominant one-two. The win for Briton Norris cuts Piastri's lead in the title fight to 15 points heading into the 52-lap race this weekend. The story making waves for the second weekend in a row, however, is the George Russell-Max Verstappen-Mercedes saga. Is the Dutchman heading for a team change? Or is Russell finally going to put pen to paper on a new Silver Arrows contract? ...

Major vehicle recall issued across Europe
Stellantis is recalling diesel cars produced between October 2017 and January 2023 across Europe due to potential camshaft chain issues. The recall affects Peugeot, Citroën, Opel/Vauxhall, DS, and Fiat vehicles equipped with the 1.5 BlueHDi diesel engine. The issue can cause premature wear, abnormal noise, and potential breakage of the camshaft chain, though no related accidents or injuries have been reported. The rework involves a software update and, if needed, an oil change, with a new application developed to detect chain problems by analysing engine noise. Stellantis will cover 100 per cent of parts and labour costs for up to 10 years or 240,000 kilometres for eligible repairs carried out between 1 January 2023 and 30 June 2025.
