Passenger train derails in Germany killing at least 3 people
Federal and local police said the cause of the crash near Riedlingen, roughly 158 kilometers (98 miles) west of Munich, remains under investigation. Photos from the scene showed parts of the train on its side as rescuers climbed atop the carriages.
It was not immediately clear how many people were injured. Roughly 100 people were onboard the train when at least two carriages derailed in a forested area around 6:10 p.m. (1610 GMT).
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, in a post on social platform X, said he mourned the victims and gave his condolences to their families.
Deutsche Bahn, Germany's main national railway operator, did not return The Associated Press' request for comment Sunday evening.

2 teens charged after kicking in door of Maryland home as part of possible TikTok challenge, police say
Two teens are facing charges after police said they kicked in the door of a Maryland home Monday morning in what could be a possible TikTok challenge. Anne Arundel County police responded to the 7900 block of Sutherland Court for a reported burglary around 3:15 a.m. Once on the scene, a homeowner told police that her door was kicked in, and her door frame was damaged. The 14- and 15-year-old boys were found nearby, police said. Shortly after, a second homeowner in the 3500 block of Old Crown Drive reported that the two teens had attempted to kick in their door. Both teens were identified and charged, according to officers. While the crime may seem isolated, Justin Mulcahy, a spokesperson for the Anne Arundel County Police Department, believes it could be part of a nationwide TikTok trend. "It's concerning all the way around," Mulcahy said. "We believe – based on how this was done – that this was potentially a door-kick challenge that's going on nationally." According to Mulcahy, teens across the country are participating in the challenge where they kick in the doors of homes during early morning hours. "Who knows for what reason other than to videotape themselves doing this," Mulcahy added. Mulcahy is urging parents to talk to their kids about the dangers of participating, saying the startling action could escalate into violence or tragedy. "What may seem like a funny prank to a child is not," Mulcahy told WJZ. "And you're infringing on someone's right by being on their property." He emphasized that participants could face criminal charges or homeowners could take action. "There could be a reaction," Mulcahy said. "We want to avoid that. We don't want any violent encounters."
