Firefighter running ahead of truck to clear a path through highway traffic jam

I got this on mail today. This happened somewhere on highway in Slovenia. As I was told, guys needed a bit under 15 minutes for 3-4km drive. It happened around 1 pm, and the temperatures were over 30 degrees. I have no words for retards blocking the way... Luckily noone was trapped or injured at the crash site. I also got this news link, with photogallery of the crash. http://www.24ur.com/novice/crna-kronika/tovornjak-prebil-ograjo-in-pristal-na-nasprotnem-pasu-primorske-avtoceste.html
