The Elhanon bridge, which connects Givat Shmuel and Bnei Brak, fell onto Highway 4. Paramedics and fire crews arrived on the scene within ten minutes and worked for hours to free the 60-year-old driver, who was discovered lifeless and pronounced dead at the scene. The cause for the collapse still unknown.
This giant wind turbine blade fell across the A33 autobahn, near Bielefeld, Germany on Tuesday, after a vehicle collided with the turbine blade transporter and caused it to come loose. The giant blade rolled across the German highway and collided with a nearby truck, completely destroyed its cabin. Amazingly, the driver of the semi received only light injuries. Firefighters arrived to the scene quickly and blocked off all traffic in order to deal with the bizarre accident. Vehicles were stuck on the congested motorway in queues that extended for miles, as police and emergency teams shut down the autobahn in both directions. Germany is one of the world's largest producers of wind turbines and one of the world's biggest consumers of energy generated by wind. A commercial wind turbine usually costs between 3 and 4 million dollars to produce and install.
