Five dead in coach crash on German motorway

At least five people have been killed and others injured in a motorway crash involving a coach near the eastern German city of Leipzig.

The coach, reportedly run by Flixbus, veered to the right on the busy A9 autobahn before falling on to its side.

Unconfirmed reports said the Flixbus service had left Berlin and was on its way to Nuremberg en route to Zurich.

Officials in the state of Saxony said their thoughts were with the victims.
