On October 25, 1930, The New York Times reported a surprising incident on a motorway in Saxony. At the same time on the road, the engines of 40 cars stalled. This track is also famous for unexplained major accidents. We have compiled a selection of the most anomalous roads in the world.
1. All 40 cars on the motorway in Saxony stopped at the same time and, despite their best efforts, the owners could not start them. Also unexpectedly (and also at the same time) an hour later the motors suddenly started working. It would be good if there were anomalies on the track associated only with a car breakdown.
But this road is also known for frequent major accidents that happened for unknown reasons. One of the most recent cases occurred in January 2012. 25 cars were involved in an accident, and neither ice nor fog was observed on the highway at that time. The truck was wedged between two cars and the drivers of these cars lost control. One person died, several more were injured.
2. In the state of New Mexico, near Albuquerque, there is a highway that locals call the "road to nowhere." Since 2000, only according to official data, 17 people passing through it have disappeared without a trace. State police and tourism have long been reluctant to talk about the fifteen-kilometer stretch of highway where individual drivers, and in some cases entire families, mysteriously disappeared.

But soon the mystical disappearances of people brought this situation to a critical point, and it became simply impossible to hush up the facts. The road leads to the San Mateo mountain range, where it ends. Once a whole family from Chicago disappeared there - the wife of Millie and Thomas Waldrug and their children - Joe's son and Lisa's daughter.
The American only wanted to ride a little along the road with the children while her husband reads the newspaper over a cup of coffee, but no one else saw them. Many detectives, scientists and even psychics tried to unravel the mystery of the disappearance of people, but all their attempts were in vain, and the ill-fated road received the nickname "Land Bermuda Triangle".

3. Bolivia also has a strange road. She has long since received a bad name. She was nicknamed "Dear Devil" ("Carreterra del Diablo"). According to occultists, this place refers to places with frequent disappearance and death of people and animals.
The track makes a painful impression, especially at night. There, two cars hardly drive away, often it rains and poor visibility due to fog. In addition, the road passes over an abyss. The Indians say about this route: "Whoever goes there will find his death." This place was considered cursed even before the Europeans landed here. Now "Devil's Road" is a graveyard of cars, they are not removed. This section has at least one fatal accident every week.
4. "The road of Satan" was nicknamed the highway in the state of Arkansas (USA), about which an incredible number of legends have been written. "The road of Satan", or as it is also called road number 666, has long earned itself a bad reputation in the eyes of motorists, at whose request it was even assigned a special number - "road number 191". The track has become famous for numerous accidents, despite the fact that it has neither dangerous turns, nor any difficult junctions.
When a local parapsychologist took on the cause of the accidents. He found out that most of the accidents were caused by a black limousine from the 1930s, on the radiator of which was a skull and bones. Drivers began to call him the "Black Sign", as he seemed to appear out of nowhere on moonless nights or in rainy and foggy weather.
The victims of the "black ghost" are most often the drivers of heavy vehicles. They tried to find the black limousine, but it turned out that it was not registered anywhere. It certainly seems that Satan himself is the owner of the car.
5. The expressway between Bremen and Bremerhaven was opened in January 1929. It was much wider than the previous road and was considered safer and more comfortable for motorists to move around. However, very little time passed, and this highway began to be called very strange, if not marked by the devil.
The fact is that there were a lot of inexplicable disasters on it, and almost all of them were concentrated in the area of the road sign "239 km". Those drivers who were lucky enough to stay alive told the police very strange stories. All in one voice repeated that, approaching the sign, they felt that some invisible force intercepted the control of their car.
It got to the point that on September 7, 1930, nine cars overturned at the sign at once, and this happened on a dry highway and in clear weather. German scientists tried to explain that the cause of the tragedies was the electromagnetic effect of the underground road, but they did not have any evidence in favor of this version.
Perhaps the tragedies on this section of the road could only be explained by some mystical reasons. Indeed, as soon as the ill-fated road sign was removed and the place was sprinkled with holy water, all inexplicable disasters, as if by magic, stopped.
