At least 52 people have been injured in a serious bus accident on the Autobahn just east of the German capital Berlin, reports several Swedish media with reference to Bild.
A spokesperson for the police tells Bild that 13 of the affected people have serious injuries.
The collision took place between a tourist bus from Poland and a tanker. Pictures from the scene show how the explosion created a large hole in the tank, but according to local media, it was empty of fuel at the time.
Emergency services sent three helicopters to help after the accident, which happened at half past one on Tuesday afternoon.
