Drove to Berlin in '89 when the wall was coming down and Trabants galore, some spewing 2 stroke emissions and rather noisy. On leaving, there was a completely flattened Trabant lying on the Autobahn, having been run over by 45 tonne juggernaut.
I had imagined at least one poor soul was among that wreckage, but back in the UK we saw in a newspaper that very same Trabant. It had actually fallen off a truck and been flattened by a following truck.
