Eight injured on Ryanair flight hit by 'severe turbulence', police sayEight passengers were injured on a Ryanair flight that diverted to an airport in southern Germany after experiencing "severe turbulence" due to bad weather, police have said. Among those injured on Wednesday night were a two-year-old who suffered bruising and a woman who incurred a head injury, according to Bavarian police. Three people were taken to a local hospital for treatment, while others were treated on site, they said. Ryanair apologised to affected passengers. It said the captain of the flight - originally planned to go from Berlin to Milan - called ahead for medical assistance and the plane "landed normally" at Memmingen Airport, to the west of Munich.
