I know of someone who shoots gulls, despite this being illegal in most circumstances.
Apparently, in the dark, they look just like rabbits.

I fear that the driver may have taken drink or drugs.
After any serious traffic accident it is the norm to test for alcohol, cann1bis, and coc1ane. If the result of such tests are negative/clear it is the norm to announce this. Something like "the driver was tested for drugs and alcohol, and the results were negative"

The absence of any such statement might suggest a certain eventuality.

Whilst sudden illness is a possibility, this is generally announced, something like "it is feared that the driver may have suffered a medical episode" Again the absence of any such statement may suggest a similar eventuality.

Several people have been killed after a passenger train derailed in south-west Germany, German media report.

Police told German news agency dpa that at least three people were also injured in the crash near Riedlingen near Stuttgart in the south-west. Reports say there had been a storm in the area shortly before.

Around 100 people were onboard the train when at least two carriages derailed in a forested area around 18:10 local time (17:10 BST), dpa reported.

German Chancellor Freidrich Merz said he "mourn[ed] the victims" and offered his "deepest sympathy" to their families in a post on X.

He said he was in close contact with the interior and transport ministers, and has requested that they provide the emergency services with all the support they need.

Images of the crash show carriages turned on their sides and heavy emergency service presence. Fallen trees can also be seen at the scene.

Reports say the train was travelling on a 90 km (55 mile) route between Sigmaringen and Ulm.

A number of changes have been announced to bus routes in Bristol, including the city's first ever 24-hour service.

First Bus said it was also adding earlier journeys onto some routes and extending the length of others to improve its network.

The operator said it was also boosting services between the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England, the city centre and student residences.

The changes will come in from 31 August, when the m1 metrobus service will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with a new half-hourly overnight service designed "to keep pace with the needs of our vibrant night-time economy", First Bus said.

The M1 metrobus operates between Cribbs Causeway and Hengrove Park.

The 39 and 1 will run overnight services from Monday to Saturday, with the 2/2a, 4, 5, 6, 73 and 74 operating overnight on Fridays and Saturdays.

Among the routes being extended are the 16, which will now run from Fishponds to Whitchurch via Temple Meads creating a new link between the south and east of the city, and the 43, which is being rerouted to include Temple Meads Station.

The 1, 24, 41, 72, 73 and 74 will start earlier on week days, First Bus said, to better serve those working early shifts.

George Burton, head of network for First Bus in the West of England, said: "These changes are designed to support people who live, work and study in the city and to keep pace with the needs of our vibrant night-time economy."  He thanked Bristol City Council and the West of England Combined Authority for their support for the improvements.

Passengers are advised to check time tables before travelling when the changes come into force. More information about changes to services can be found on the First Bus website.

80 tonnes is impressive ! Does the removed material have any use ?

I'm not sure it was - ever - very much in person.. However, the branch network as I understand it is like little call centres where the volunteers who take some very difficult calls can be mutually supportive.  It takes a special person to man phone lines for calls like this and they need their network.   

This incident hit me hard as I’d just got home from taking a school group of 60-65 passengers to Longleat on the day it happened. I’ve never had an incident like this effect me emotionally previously.

Something that’s stood out to me in all of the news reports. There has been No mention of the driver’s  condition that I have seen.

The child, who hasn't yet been named, died yesterday afternoon while the driver remains in a stable condition in hospital.
