WEZEP, Netherlands, Aug 24 (Reuters) - A coach carrying high-school students from Germany crashed in the east of the Netherlands early on Monday, injuring 16 people who were taken to hospital, Dutch police said.
Eight of those hurt have been severely wounded and the others suffered minor injuries, the police department of Gelderland province said in a post on X.
The coach, which was carrying more than 50 people and was registered in Austria, according to a police spokesperson, crashed near the town of Wezep, some 100 km (62 miles) east of Amsterdam around 4 a.m. (0200 GMT) due to a collision with a delivery van, whose driver was among the injured.
