German pile-up involves 259 cars


At least 66 people have been injured in a mass pile-up involving 259 cars on a motorway in north Germany, police say.

Ten people are said to be fighting for their lives in hospital after the series of crashes on the A2 between Hanover and Peine on Sunday evening.

Police said the pile-up was believed to have been caused by a combination of heavy rain and excessive speed.

^ Very possible. Also the fact that the US has too many sizes of cars. When you combine an SUV and a sedan, you don't have a pretty picture...

But not a 259 car picture...
I'd really want to see this picture. It'd almost be a mile long.

Now if a train derailed and smacked that pile-up ... then we'd have something to talk about.
