This one's 'lucky' (so far) in that there haven't (yet) been any fatalities (but two in critical condition). Eleven serious injuries:

Motorways are generally the roads with the best crash record (with a few exceptional locations down the years), but when something unexpected or rare happens, like foggy conditions, people are usually unprepared, and then these mass pile-ups occur. I haven't heard of one for a while, but there used to be several a year in Germany, mostly with fatalities.
Fingers crossed the worst-affected victims make it.
