The 41-year-old's car was thrown across all lanes by the collision and crashed into the central concrete barrier, while the 34-year-old's car ended up in the embankment to the right of the roadway.

They were - with the exception of the 31-year-old - given first aid by the emergency services and taken to nearby hospitals.

In the car with the 41-year-old were his 43-year-old wife in the passenger seat, as well as two 17-year-olds and a 6-year-old child in the back seat. Along with the 31-year-old, two children aged two and six were also traveling with the 34-year-old.
