Zapfendorf (dpa / lby) - The driver of a small van drove into the rear of two stationary tow trucks on Autobahn 73 near Zapfendorf in Upper Franconia (Bamberg district) and was seriously injured. As the police announced on Thursday, the two tow trucks stopped on the hard shoulder on Wednesday because the two 34-year-old drivers checked a vehicle loaded on the front car. The two men were not injured as they stood midway between the tow trucks.
