Overview

• On July 4, a Flixbus traveling from Copenhagen to Vienna veered off the A19 near Röbel and overturned onto its side.
• Thirty-one passengers were injured in the crash, including six with serious injuries and twenty-five with minor injuries.
• Emergency teams freed one passenger who had been trapped under the wreckage for more than two hours.
• The public prosecutor’s office removed and impounded the bus and has commissioned a DEKRA expert report to determine the cause.
• Survivors described breaking windows to self-evacuate and facing communication breakdowns with non-German-speaking drivers, fueling scrutiny of Flixbus’s market dominance and outsourced carrier model.
