Original source: VRTNWS

On the A9 in eastern Germany, 34 people were injured last night in a rear-end collision involving a motorhome. The accident occurred near Bad Lobenstein in Thuringia. The motorhome braked too late and crashed into the tail of a traffic jam caused by an earlier accident on the opposite carriageway. Police reported 34 injured, none in life-threatening condition. Nine vehicles were damaged, including two minibuses, one of which was carrying children with special needs and their carers. The motorway was closed in both directions for over five hours.

Product for removing rain streaks from motorhomes and caravans

Dekalin has announced that its Dekafinisher product, originally developed as a smoothing agent for sealants, effectively removes stubborn rain streaks from motorhome and caravan surfaces. According to managing director Michael Windecker, the cleaning effect was discovered by chance when users applied it to their own vehicles. The company recommends testing on an inconspicuous area first, especially on acrylic glass, rubber seals, and decorative films.
