Fatal bus accident in the Upper Palatinate: cause initially unclear
The coach, which was supposed to bring workers from Waldmünchen (Cham district) to Regensburg, came off the state road 2146 alone on Wednesday morning.
That is what the police said.
The fire brigade and the emergency doctor tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate the driver.
All five other passengers suffered minor injuries in the accident and were taken to hospitals.
It was initially unclear whether the driver died in the accident or whether there was a medical emergency.
Whether there will be an autopsy will be coordinated with the public prosecutor's office, the police said.
But there is a lot to be said for it.
The cause of the accident also remained unclear.

According to previous knowledge, the bus left the road and drove down an embankment without the involvement of other vehicles.
He tipped sideways, but didn't fall over completely because of trees and the shape of the ditch, police said.
