Reports are coming in of a derailment of a DB Regio regional train* on the Munich-Garmisch line, just north of Garmisch itself.
Pictures show several vehicles of a double-deck train derailed off the single track line.
There are reportedly 3 deaths and a significant number of injuries.

While this is yet another single-track accident in Bavaria, it doesn't appear that another train was involved.
* presumably the train was an RB6 service, 1207 Garmisch-Munich.

The train was probably derailed, according to a spokesman for the Federal Police. Three wagons had tipped over. At least three people are said to have died, there are several seriously injured. Three rescue helicopters from Tyrol (Austria) are also deployed. The Bundeswehr is also helping, as are numerous police officers who are currently stationed in Garmisch-Partenkirchen because of the upcoming G7 summit.
