Fifty-two people were injured, ten of them seriously, when a bus and a truck collided on Tuesday on the A12 highway in the eastern German state of Brandenburg, APA reports citing the German press agency dpa.

The crash occurred between the towns of Storkow and Friedersdorf, a police spokesman said.

According to initial reports, a tanker truck headed for Berlin had attempted to change lanes. In doing so, it hit a truck and collided with the long-distance Polish bus.

A local police spokeswoman said that the tanker truck was not loaded.

All the injured have been taken to nearby hospitals and the lanes on the highway remain closed, the police said.
