On August 26, 2004, A tanker truck hauling 32,000 liters of fuel collides with a car on the Wiehltal Bridge in Germany. The truck crashes through the guardrail and falls 90 feet off the A4 Autobahn. The resulting explosion destroys the bridge. Temporary repairs cost $40 million and the cost to replace the bridge is estimated at $318 Million. This was by far the most expensive accident in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany.
