Local police spokesman Jürgen Thalmeier told Rosenheim24 that"several people have been killed in the crash."
Police spokesman Jürgen Thalmeier said the trains collided between the local railway stations of Holzkirchen and Rosenheim. The incident occurred at about 7 a.m. local time (6:00 GMT). Bad Aibling is 60 kilometers southwest of Munich.
All local ambulance vehicles have been dispatched to the crash site. Nordbauyerischer Kurier reports that eight medical helicopters have been spotted in a nearby field.
There was an estimated total of 100 people on the two trains, Rosenheim24 reports. The passengers are believed to be mostly commuters traveling between Munich and Rosenheim. It is believed that due to Bavaria's Fasching carnival being celebrated this week, the trains could have been carrying fewer passengers than usual.
