China: The impressive pictures of a gigantic pile up with more than 200 cars

The pictures are impressive. One person was killed in a gigantic foggy pile-up involving several hundred vehicles in China on Wednesday, state television reported.

Aerial images show a large number of cars, vans and trucks upside down on a stretch of freeway in the middle of the country. Traffic seems cut off. Images have immortalized cars finishing their race on top of the vehicles in front.

This morning at around 7:40 a.m., several vehicles collided from north to south on the Zhengxin Yellow River Bridge due to heavy fog. At present, the injured have been taken to the hospital and the rescue work is being carried out properly.#Zhengzhou pic.twitter.com/Emj0jIQFEs
