Three people in the Fiat were burnt to death. A fourth person managed to climb out of the car, suffering second-degree burns.

The BMW driver suffered only light injuries. As there is a suspicion of drunk driving, police are continuing their inquiry.

The motorway was re-opened to traffic later on Tuesday following a huge snarl-up.
