About 100 cars collided in a huge pile-up in a heavy snowstorm in the Czech Republic on Thursday, completely blocking its main highway, officials said. Six people were seriously injured and about 18 others suffered light injuries in accidents on the road from the capital, Prague, to the south-eastern city of Brno, said regional governor Milos Vystrcil.
