The Grand-Ducal Fire and Rescue Corps (CGDIS) had a busy Sunday evening as they were dispatched across the country to respond to multiple incidents as a total of eleven people required rescuing.
At 5.10pm, a major rescue operation took place at "Am Kleegaart" in the north-west of Oberpallen near the Belgian border, following a car crash that left six people injured, including four children.

The CGDIS did not mention any further details regarding the incident in their Monday morning report.
