Franconian Forest - A curious accident occurred on Christmas Day in Bavaria.
According to the police, an Austrian family was traveling on the A9 and wanted to refuel their BMW at the Frankenwald Ost service station.
"The family from Austria drove into the snow-covered gas station area shortly after 10 a.m.," reports the police.
The speed was apparently not adapted to the road conditions.
Therefore, the woman could not brake in time and hit the gas pump.
