Seventeen people were unaccounted for after a tour bus burst into flames following a collision on Monday with a trailer truck in southern Germany, police said. There was "only a glimmer of hope" that 17 people missing after the collision would be found alive outside the coach, which was completely gutted, he added. The impact shortly after 7 am sent the bus up in flames. "The bus is completely gutted," said Hoefer. An emergency team, including firefighters and rescue workers, was in place, while traffic on the motorway was halted in both directions.
