Scouts suffer heatstroke on bus trip
More than a dozen scouts from Germany have suffered heatstroke while traveling in an overheated bus in Hesse.
A total of 13 young people in the group from Hesse had to be treated after the rescue operation in Lichtenfels in Upper Franconia, a police spokesman said. Five of them suffered moderate injuries and eight were slightly injured. An investigation has now been launched.
Taken to hospitals
Some of the teenagers had suffered heatstroke, while the others were struggling with circulatory problems. Some of the teenagers were taken to nearby hospitals and otherwise treated on the spot. The teenagers were reportedly between twelve and 15 years old.
Air conditioning not switched on
According to the police, the air conditioning in the bus was not switched on for an as yet unexplained reason. It is still unclear whether it was not working or whether it was deliberately not switched on. The bus must now be technically inspected. The bus driver is also under investigation. He will be questioned in the next few days, the police said.
