Bad Schwalbach (dpa / lhe) – At least 23 students were injured in a gas leak at a comprehensive school in Idstein. According to the first information from the civil protection of the Rheingau-Taunus district, 18 of them were taken to nearby hospitals. It was initially unclear what type of gas it was. Tear gas may have been sprayed, said a spokesman for civil protection.
Two rescue helicopters, around 30 ambulances and around ten emergency doctors were deployed in the large-scale operation on Thursday. The streets around the affected school were blocked by emergency vehicles. Parents should head for a neighboring train station.
