A car caught fire during a carnival parade in Kehl, Baden-Württemberg. To save themselves from the flames, several people jumped from the trailer onto the street, the Offenburg police headquarters said. Five people are said to have been injured in the fire and the jump from the trailer, at least one seriously.
According to the police, a unit on the dismantled trailer probably deflagrated shortly after 3 p.m. on Sunday for reasons that are still unclear. This caused the vehicle to catch fire.
