Hungary has deployed cold-war-era tanks to free 10,000 motorists trapped by huge snow drifts as cold weather caused transport chaos across central Europe.
Russian-built T-72 battle tanks trundled along icy roads as thousands of people waited in cars on the M1 motorway from Budapest to Vienna. Many had been stuck since Thursday evening
Thousands of motorists were trapped in heavy snow on Friday as a sudden cold snap and high winds struck parts of the Balkans, Slovakia and Poland, leaving at least two people dead.
Snow stranded people in cars, buses and trains through the night and conspired with strong winds to cut off dozens of towns and villages in Hungary.
