Re: 259 car pileup in Germany
I'm glad i'm not phoning my insurance company to explain this one, with them asking for details of other vehicles involved!

Re: 259 car pileup in Germany
If you watch the video, it 'may' be a bit of poetic licence.

There are large gaps between groups of vehicles that have hit each other. A more accurate headline might be '259 vehicles involved in accidents over an X kilometre stretch of autobahn'. It's not as if 258 vehicles have run into the back of the car in front...

Doesn't trip off the tongue though does it!
