The man's car struck the Autobahn's side railings after he drove over what police called a "whole caravan" of snails according to The Local.
The driver was not injured in the accident, which took place around 7 a.m. Wednesday morning, and police said some of the snails managed to survive as well.
"Some of the animals could save themselves in the nearby grass," police said.
Police also stated that the trail of snail slime was eventually dried out by the sun and no longer posed a threat to drivers in the area.
