“I was entering a bend. A heavy goods vehicle was coming from the opposite direction. I only saw the trailer flying towards me,” recounts Jarosław Górski, the bus driver. “There was a gust of wind,” explains the truck driver. “It blew and caused the trailer to swerve slightly,” he adds.

The bus passengers were travelling from Bielsko-Biała back to Dresden.
