Two of the five Scotland fans were seriously injured after their rental car was involved in head-on collision with a Mercedes moments after departing airport near Dusseldorf
Five Scotland fans travelling to Euro 2024 have been injured in a head-on car collision after allegedly forgetting that vehicles are driven on the right side of the road in Germany.
The fans had travelled on a flight from Edinburgh, landing at approximately 11pm, and picked up a rental car from the airport - only to pull on to the wrong side of the carriageway in a dark Citroen. An unnamed source told the Daily Record: "They landed in Weeze with Ryanair from Edinburgh at 11pm. They picked up their rental car directly at Weeze Airport, packed numerous suitcases and drove off, but forgot that in Germany you drive on the right.
"Numerous rescue teams were on duty until 2am this morning; the two vehicles were totally damaged and had to be rescued."
