He drove over an embankment and came to a stop in the bushes. The accident took place between the Liechtenstein barracks and the Kaufholz camp.
Four soldiers were injured
There were eight soldiers on board the bus, four of whom were military servants. They were taken to Horn State Hospital with unknown injuries. The driver and the other three cadre soldiers were unharmed. An alcohol test showed that the driver had not consumed alcohol.
After the health check, the military officers are already back in Allentsteig. They suffered minor injuries in the form of bruises and are allowed to perform limited duties.
