An accident occurred in Bavaria in which a driver was very lucky not to have been fatally injured.
A big problem: the gazers.
Schwabach – On Thursday afternoon, October 13th, a serious accident occurred near Schwabach near Nuremberg.
Traffic stopped on the A6 near the Roth junction, a normal sight for around 3 p.m.
Again and again, road users have to slow down to avoid collisions.
But then the accident happens.

Two truck drivers have to brake abruptly due to the traffic, but a third is no longer able to do so.
He drives on the back of the man in front of him and pushes this in turn onto the man in front of him.
The force of the impact is so great that the rear truck pushes up over the first axle of the front one.
The 22-year-old driver of the approaching truck was trapped in the driver's cab.
And he's extremely lucky.
According to Stefan Pfeifer, head of the Feucht traffic police inspection, he was seriously but not fatally injured.
The driver of the middle truck was slightly injured, the one in front gets away with a fright.

While the rescue workers are still on duty and the rescue work is being initiated, traffic is slowing down on the oncoming lane towards Heilbronn.
The reason: Gaffer.
They follow what is happening with great interest, many have their mobile phones on the wheel and film the whole thing.
They are just waiting for an accident to happen there, comments Pfeifer resignedly.
"In this regard, you see a rather desperate police officer standing in front of you, because this topic keeps moving us and we really slowly don't know how to get the people under control anymore," explains Pfeifer.
After the accident, the police began investigating.
A truck had loaded an aircraft turbine, whether it was properly secured and played a role in the accident is being checked.
She is at least responsible for the high property damage worth 1.5 million euros.
The rescue work continued into the night.
