(ANSA-AFP) - FRANKFURT AM MAIN, OCT 13 - Seven people died
and several others were injured early Friday in a crash in
southeastern Germany after a minibus believed to be packed with
migrants tried to evade a road check, police said. A Mercedes
Vito minibus with Austrian license plates and carrying 23 people
tried to evade the check some 50 kilometres (31 miles) from the
border between Austria and Germany as it drove toward Munich,
police said. The driver lost control of the vehicle, which
flipped over several times before landing on its side. Police
said they suspect a "people smuggler" was at the wheel and have
opened a criminal investigation of the crash in the Bavaria
region on charges of suspected homicide. Some of those injured
were in a serious condition, with children among the victims.
