Six Poor Mercedes-Benz CLA Cars Burn Like Marshmallows

If you're from Italy and recently ordered a sexy Mercedes-Benz CLA you might want to prepare yourself a drink and sit down for a minute.

A Hungarian motorway has recently become the grave of six brand new CLA models which had just left their birth place from the Mercedes-Benz plant in Kecskemet, Hungary.

A trailer carrying eight CLAs from the factory towards Italy caught fire right after it had reached the motorway, and the aftermath is pretty gruesome, as the following photos at the scene sadly exemplify.

It seems that the right rear brake from the trailer had remained stuck and a tire eventually caught fire. The trailer driver was informed of the fact that he probably looked like the truck version of the Ghost Rider when it was too late by another truck driver.

Both stopped and tried to put out the fire using three extinguishers, but the flames had engulfed most of the cars already and they only managed to save two Mercedes-Benz CLA and the truck which was pulling the trailer until the firemen arrived at the scene.
