Seven people have died on a Belgian motorway after their car drove at high speed into the back of a German truck and caught fire.
The accident happened in the early hours of Saturday at Zonhofen, near the Dutch border.
Some of the occupants of the BMW were still conscious when it caught fire on the motorway emergency lane, Belga news agency reported.
The lorry driver and other motorists came to the scene with fire extinguishers before the local fire brigade arrived, but the blaze spread quickly.
Rescue workers later towed the vehicle away, clearing the road where a 4km tailback had developed.
