    Deadly 80-car pile up in Germany
    At least five people are dead and dozens injured after an enormous 80-car pile up near the Baltic Sea coast in Germany.

    A sandstorm in northern Germany caused a huge highway pile-up that killed eight people and injured at least 41 others.

    About 110 people in 80 cars and three trucks were involved in Friday's crash a few kilometres from the Baltic Sea. At least 17 vehicles caught fire, including a truck carrying flammable material.

    The crash in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania state was caused by a sandstorm, but it was unclear if this was through a sudden lack of visibility or by sand on the road, police said.

    Strong winds may have carried the sand from nearby fields - one of them freshly ploughed - to the four-lane highway. The region has experienced prolonged dry conditions."
