Police acknowledge search errors in fatal child drowning as Dutch bus crash injures 15

German police in Preetz, Schleswig-Holstein, confirmed that a missing three-year-old girl drowned in a pool located on her family's property. Autopsy results established the cause of death, while police admitted to procedural oversights after officers failed to locate the child during an initial search of the premises.

In a separate emergency involving the same state, 15 students and teachers from a secondary school in Schönberg were injured—some seriously—when a tour bus carrying 54 passengers crashed early in the morning in the Netherlands. Emergency services responded to the scene, and investigations into the cause of the accident remain ongoing.
