Body found in burned-out car on A73 near Bamberg, Digi Mart USA News (Bamberg, Germany): Firefighters discovered a body in a burned-out car on the A73 near Bamberg.

Only after the vehicle, which was parked on the emergency lane, had been extinguished did rescue workers discover the body.
The deceased has not yet been identified. The criminal police are investigating in all directions because the circumstances remain completely unclear.
