Heilige Scheiße!!! 15 car pileup at the 'Ring
#5
Yeah I don't know what the proper protocol is there. It's technically a public road, so the rules for responding to a public crash may apply. But yeah, I would be extremely leery of getting out of my car in a spot like that, even if I could get behind a guard rail. Might have been better to park it past the incident. I do think that the guy waving people down may have prevented some more serious impacts. Several of the cars lost control at the kink once they saw him, but at least they were slowing down (albeit while sliding backwards). Had they come down in there at full speed it definitely would've been worse.

Either way that was a fucking hideous incident. Supremely shitty for a corner worker to leave early like that, that could've caused a fatality.
