The Daily Record has also reported the five people who were involved are supporters of the Scotland football team and had landed in Germany after flying from Edinburgh for the Euros.
They had rented a car and had just started their journey from the airport before they were involved in a head-on collision on the wrong side of the road.
A source told the Record: "The fans had just arrived from Edinburgh and had hired a rental car.
“There was a huge emergency response with ambulances parked waiting to take casualties to hospital.
“It looked like all five in the car were injured, with two of them appearing to be seriously hurt.”
The German police have been contacted for comment.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
