the notorious audi RS6 car crash in germany

germany, 6/3/2019.

a 68 year old man driving his audi RS6 in the A81 motorway near Mundelsheim in Baden-Württemberg, towards Stuttgart was driving at over 315 km/h of speed, when he suddenly became the protagonist of an atrocious car accident.

according to the reconstruction of events, a truck in front of the audi switched to the middle lane. the truck's rear lights weren't working when the crash occured, so the person driving the audi didn't see the truck and noticed it too late so he didn't have time to brake. his car ramped off the semi truck and he got catapulted into the air, before furiously slamming into a bridge pier and shattering.

the audi literally warped around the steel beam in a way that the car was split in two parts. some of the car's pieces were found even 50 meters far from the crash. the driver was thrown from the cockpit of his car to the road, and the emergency services could only determine his death: while some pics actually show his condition was worse. in fact, the man got literally decapitated by the iron sheets, his head was found a few centimeters from the body and some of his body parts were found separately, such as his hand, arm, and even clothing items such as one of his shoes - retrieved right next to the crashed car.

in order to recover the crashed vehicle, the fire brigade had to use hydraulic rescue shears.

the man was allegedly drunk while driving , but even if he was drunk, this happened in germany, where driving at extreme speed is allowed in highways.

after the accident, the A81 had to be completely closed for 5 hours and it took the rescues approximately 45 minutes to retrieve all of the car's debris and the victim's remains.

upclose shots of the car crash. if you squint, you can notice fabric, and also the airbag that exploded during the crash - obviously in vain.

deutsch polizei on the scene - they happen to be observing the car that crashed
