33 German tourists die as train hits bus
The Budapest to Nagykanizsa train hit the coach around 8:35am (6:35am Irish time) at a level crossing near Siofok on Lake Balaton, Hungary’s leading tourist area, echoing a similar tragedy at the same place 21 years ago.
The head of the local disaster unit, Gyorgy Heizler, said the coach driver had failed to heed red stop lights. The crossing, like many in Hungary, has no safety barriers.
