Hi Erhard,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
Glad you like it. Of course you will know this road very well. Maybe you heard of this on your news? As for the state of the drivers, I have no idea.
Best Wishes, HFF, and a Good Weekend,

Beautifully composed.
HFF and a nice weekend.

Way too many lorries on German Autobahns, too many tired drivers and unsafe vehicles from Eastern Eurpoe...But a well composed photo with he sunflowerrs;:-) HFF, Peter!

Hi Gudrun,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I am pleased you found it interesting...The sunflowers were not an accident!!
I too think that there are too many trucks on the roads, and not enough on the railways!
Best Wishes, HFF, and a Good Weekend,
Peter

This all looks rather serious, but a well taken photojournalism image. HFF, Peter.

Hi Roger,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
I'm happy that you had a good look!!
As to injuries and aftermath, I have no idea!!
Best Wishes, HFF, and a Good Weekend,
Peter

... a newsworthy shot ... and some really on-the-mark comments, above ...

... my last autobahn experience was 20+ years ago, and I was impressed then with truck traffic: strictly 100kph, right lane only, regimented and safe ... apparently some changes have occurred?

HFF and y'all have a great weekend ...

Hi Wally,
Thank you for visiting!
I am pleased you found it interesting.
The trucks are governed down to speed limits, and the Germans particularly are good at following their orders! In this case it would appear to be a serious lack of attention..
Best Wishes, HFF, and a Good Weekend,
Peter

Quelle composition si Admirable !
Un agréable week-end pour vous Peter !

Hi Danielle ,
Thank you very much!
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it!

Hi Peter, a superb shot! So much to see and needs to be viewed large!
HFF and I hope you have a good weekend.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa ,
Your visit in much appreciated. Thank you!
I am so happy that you like the photo.
As to the aftermath, I have no idea. Those of us on motorbikes were sent on our way as soon as enough of the wreckage was removed.
Best Wishes, HFF, and a Good Weekend,
Peter

HFF and a very nice weekend for you !!!

Hi Karp,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
I am pleased you found it interesting.
Best Wishes, HFF, and a Good Weekend,

My dear Peter,

As you know I was very busy with some reasons for the last two weeks. So I could not be on ipernity.
Now I found some time to look at fence pictures in this Friday night.

It is an interesting picture for HFF. A wonderful view ,and horrible accident!
I remember that one of the lorries crush the barriers.. Fortunatelly the helicopter came very quickly...
Do you remember we had have seen, some long tails of lorries, on German highway many times ?
As Gudrun said, too many lorries, and maybe too many tired drivers...

Anyway HFF and have a wonderful weekend and a wonderful holiday!
Love Füsun

My dear Füsun
Thank you very much!
I am so happy that you like the photo
As for the collision, I have written what I know above. Perhaps inattentive..
But you are right, we have seen many Kms of trucks nose to tail.. Some of which would be better on the railway!

Best Wishes, HFF, and a Good Weekend,
Love Peter

Keine Happy Fence! Hoffentlich ist es nur Sachschaden.

Hi Trester ,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it!
As to injuries, I have no idea, but the helicopter is waiting!
Best Wishes, HFF, and a Good Weekend,
Peter

The helicopter on the scene is quite a worrying sight. I hope there were no serious injuries. HFF Peter and have a lovely weekend

Hi Carol,
Your visit in much appreciated. Thank you!
I'm happy that you had a good look!!
As to the injuries sustained, your guess is a s good as mine, considering the Hiab on the back of the orange truck is a pretty substantial piece of metalwork!
Best Wishes, HFF, and a Good Weekend,
Peter

Not a happy situation ... but an interesting shot.

Hi Sarah ,
Thank you for visiting!
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed the photo!
Best Wishes, (slightly late) HFF, and a Good Weekend,
Peter

Tragic ... =(

But without the safety fence things may have gone even worse.

Hi Sami ,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I am so happy that you like the scene. For right or for wrong, the safety fences are not designed to survive the onslaught of a direct hit by 40 tonnes!!
Best Wishes, (slightly late) HFF, and a Good Weekend,
Peter

Ooops...

You've captured the sequence very well.

A belated HFF to you, Peter, and stay safe. :)

Hi Karen ,
Your visit in much appreciated. Thank you!
I'm happy that you had a good look!!
Unfortunately, I know nothing of the aftermath and outcomes of this, but I am sure there is a lesson or two to be learned!
Best Wishes, (slightly late) HFF, and a Good Weekend,
Peter

Hi Peter! :)

Thank you so much for the explanation of this fascinating picture! Right away I was curious what I was looking at. Then I could see it was a crash. Then I read your text and studied the picture at full size to inspect all the details. WOW! Great angle to show the trucks. It's too bad there was an accident, and I hope nobody was hurt.

Thank you for the presentation, I felt like I was there!

Hi Janet,

Thank you so much for your visit, and taking the time to look and consider it. Unfortunately this took a while to clear, and hence I had plenty of time to record the scene.
Sorry for a late response, I have been away. More pictures will follow to show that adventure.

Best Wishes
Peter

Hi Peter,
it' s really a great photo. There are often crashes in Germany and this is unfortunately a picture often seen. And ... there are many details here to see - especially the sunflowers. HFF (belated), wish you a nice sunday !
Greetings from Germany
