Missing German toddler found dead in pool as school bus crashes in Netherlands

German authorities in Schleswig-Holstein have confirmed that a missing three-year-old girl was found dead in a pool on her family's property in Preetz, near Kiel. Autopsy results indicated that the child drowned. Police admitted to making mistakes during their initial search of the premises, as officers failed to locate the girl during an earlier check of the property.

In a separate incident involving residents from the same region, a tour bus carrying 54 passengers crashed early in the morning in the Netherlands. The passengers included students and teachers from the Gemeinschaftsschule Probstei in Schönberg. Emergency personnel responded to the scene, where at least 15 individuals sustained injuries, several of them severe. Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the bus collision.
