The highway pile-up took place south of the port city of Rostock Friday, Xinhua reported.

Three trucks were also involved in the pileup, police said.

About 20 vehicles, including a truck carrying inflammable material, caught fire after the accident.

Police blamed a sandstorm for the pile-up, as it reduced visibility on the highway to less than 100 metres.
