A bus crash in Oberursel, Germany, left four people injured after colliding with two cars at an intersection. The incident happened during thick fog, with authorities now examining whether speed and poor visibility played a role in the accident.
The collision took place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, when a bus driver, aged 61, reportedly failed to stop at the intersection. The impact pushed the two cars into each other and also damaged a nearby traffic light. Emergency services rushed to the scene, where a 53-year-old woman from one of the cars and three bus passengers were treated for injuries before being taken to hospital.
