Munich - Six people are dead and a further 13 are injured
following a multi-car crash on a motorway in southern Germany early

The crash occurred in foggy conditions near the town of Bad
Groenenbach on the A7 autobahn around 1am (0000 GMT), according to a
Bavarian police spokesman.
Rescue operations are continuing, authorities said, and the road has
been closed in one direction.

number of traffic-related deaths on German roads in 2016 dropped by
5.2 per cent in comparison to last year. Around 3 280 people lost
their lives, the organization said.
