Bavarian child injured by wild animal; mother and infant hurt in train‑car crash

A five‑year‑old boy was seriously injured in a maize field near Au/Hallertau, Bavaria, after being attacked by a wild animal, suspected to be a wild boar protecting its young. Emergency services airlifted the child to a Munich hospital, where he was treated for severe head wounds but faces no life‑threatening condition.

In a separate incident in Petzfeld, Bavaria, a train operated by Agilis collided with a parked Opel at an unprotected level crossing. A 37‑year‑old driver and her one‑year‑old child were severely injured and were taken to hospital. The train’s passengers were unharmed, and rail traffic was temporarily suspended while investigators examined the cause of the collision.
