But that's not all: a subsequent vehicle also noticed the situation too late and also collided with the two cars that had already been accident

The dramatic events led two of the drivers to suffer minor injuries. These were immediately taken to medical care in nearby hospitals. Fortunately, there were serious injuries, which is not a matter of course in the face of the situation. However, the three vehicles involved suffered greatly visible damage and finally had to be towed.
