There are many videos on the web, with exactly the same intersection, from exactly the same angle (most probably the same guy filmed them) and few of them show accidents too. I remember I have watched some in the past.

This is quoted from the article about the longest German word.

Seems insane, but I suppose it's similar to an obsession with certain very long numbers with a particular trait.
