About 30 young people from Italy were very lucky. Their coach skidded on Friday morning on the A7 near Swabia. The occupants were unharmed.

Kirchdorf/Iller – The coach was on its way from Caltrano in northern Italy to Bottrop in North Rhine-Westphalia. According to the police, the bus driver came off the road on Friday, May 26, at around 6 a.m. near Kirchdorf an der Iller, where the A7 runs parallel to the border between Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.

According to the police, the cause of this was carelessness on the part of the driver. Accordingly, the bus skidded and crashed into the center guardrail before the bus driver was finally able to bring the vehicle to a stop.
