As result, seven people died charred: Both trucks’ drivers, two people in the 1st car (a mercedes) and three people in the 2nd car, a BMW 530 tailgating the 1st car. The occupants of the yellow van were not injured and a few seconds later they got out of their van. The bmw’s tail was still looking good for spare parts! Not the same for the Mercedes, which was found melted under one of the trucks… Further investigations established that the cause of this fatal accident may have been a mechanical failure on the truck’s front left suspension. More in detail, seems that the joint that holds the axle and the leaf-spring together broken, causing the veer Song: The Chemical Brothers – Surface to Air.
