More than a dozen scouts from Germany suffered heatstroke while riding in an overheated bus in Hesse.
A total of 13 young people from the group from Hesse had to be treated after the rescue operation in Lichtenfels in Upper Franconia, a police spokesman said. Five of them were moderately injured and eight were slightly injured. Investigations have now been launched.
Taken to hospitals
Some of the young people had suffered from heat stroke, others from circulatory problems. Some teenagers were taken to nearby hospitals and treated on the spot. According to the information, the young people were between twelve and fifteen years old.
Air conditioning not turned on
According to the police, the air conditioning in the bus was not turned on for some unknown reason. It is still unclear whether it was not working or was not turned on intentionally. The bus must now be technically checked. The bus driver is also being investigated. The police said he would be questioned in the coming days.
