Man killed after trying to take selfie on motorway
The accident occurred on a busy motorway in Germany. Dean Steele, 22, was struck by a car while attempting to take a selfie on the crash barrier. He was travelling with his two friends to the German town of Gudow to watch Bundesliga 2 side St Pauli. His two friends were not injured but were treated for shock. The driver was not fined. The crash is an example of a driver who failed to pay attention and was liable to drive into the cyclist.
The driver was distracted and did not see the two men, who were taking the selfie. The young man fell into the gorge, which is 2,000 feet deep. His injuries were minor and his wife was not hurt.
