Stone avalanche thunders onto the Brenner motorway in South Tyrol - hitting several cars. Miraculously, no one was seriously injured.

Several vehicles were damaged and one person was slightly injured. The cause of the rock fall is likely to be the extreme temperature fluctuations of the past few days. In recent months, several rock falls and entire mountain falls have rocked the Alps in Austria and Italy. Most recently, two powerful rock avalanches occurred on Lake Garda, near Zell am See.
