I saw some hours ago at the news... I noticed the 167 and I understood it was an M6.
I hope he was going very fast, because if our cars are so weak...
It's a headon accident probably-- so if he was going at 100kph and the truck at 100kph, that's one hell of a hit.

It's a bit scary driving those narrow highways from Rome to northern Italy and I used to wonder what would happen
if there were accidents.. well, i guess I know now...

Wow, it is an utterly destroyed M6 and an even more tragically killed young man! I just hope that in the coming weeks we don't hear that there were drugs or alcohol involved, as that would make it even more senseless!

From Rome to where? There is the A1 between Rome and Milan, 3 or 4 lanes per direction.

But if you choose to drive outside the motorway, maybe on the coast.. In Europe roads are narrow, not big as in USA
