At least 14 people were injured when a car ploughed into a German motorway tailback at high speed, slamming into five other cars in succession, police reported on Sunday.
The accident occurred at Odelzhausen to the north-west of Munich on Saturday at around 2:30 pm (1230 GMT). The A8 motorway was closed for several hours.
Three people, including a 15-year-old girl, suffered serious injuries and were helicoptered to hospital. The 49-year-old driver of the car causing the accident and 10 others were less seriously injured.
Police confiscated the man's licence. They said they still had to ascertain whether he had been fit to drive.
