Car Crash Pile Up on Icy Italian Highway
After slushy snow re-froze on this expressway in Porto San Giorgio, Ascoli Piceno, Italy, it created an ultra-slick driving surface.
Cars would exit the tunnel at high speed and be immediately confronted by a blinding snow storm, frozen pavement, and a highway bending left, making it even harder to stay in control and see in front of you. The result was a multi-car pile-up that was captured by an unmanned traffic camera that went on for nearly 4 minutes before victims managed to go inside of the tunnel and flag motorists to slow down.
Here’s a satellite image of the location in the summer time in case you’re curious: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Porto+San+Giorgio+AP%2C+Italy&ie=UTF8&ll=43%2E168937%2C13%2E789693&spn=0%2E003298%2C0%2E006748&t=k&z=18
