18 Jul Worst motorway crash
Eighteen people were killed and 30 others were injured in what has been described as one of the worst motorway crashes in Germany’s recent history.
Their tourist coach burst into flames after it collided into the back of a slow moving articulated lorry in Bavaria.
The cause of the fire has been the source of much speculation in the German media with one report containing the suggestion by an insurance expert that the coach may have already been on fire when the collision occurred.
