On the highway near Villingen-Schwenningen, a man drove his car head-on against a three-ton rock that fell on the road and died. The car immediately went up in flames, said a police spokesman in Baden-Württemberg. The driver could no longer avoid the chunk and could not free himself from his car after the collision on Saturday night. The identity of the man was not clear at first.
On the Facebook post of the fire brigade of Trossingen the Brocken - about one cubic meter in size - can be seen in the picture below left:
The A81 motorway was completely closed after the accident between the interchanges Tuningen and Villingen-Schwenningen and is expected to be released again from 12 clock. According to the spokesman, experts had to inspect the slope next to the highway to prevent further rock falls.
