Berlin, June 5 After the finding of another body on Saturday, the number of victims in Friday's train accident in southern Germany has risen to five.

A train derailed near the Alpine ski town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the German federal state of Bavaria on Friday at noon. Over 40 were injured, of whom three were in serious condition, Xinhua news agency reported.
