Accident on A9: cars go up in flames – two people cannot save themselves
While first responders were able to rescue the seriously injured driver of the Ford Focus from his car, any help came too late for the two occupants of the Seat Ibiza.
According to the police spokesman, they were "burned beyond recognition".
According to the police, the two dead are an 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old woman from the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district.
