The incident occurred at around 8:00 a.m. in Czerna (Nowogrodziec gmina). In a conversation with the IstotneInformacje.pl portal, the truck driver said that a passenger car suddenly pulled out from a minor road, forcing him to brake sharply. The Mercedes truck skidded. The driver tried to avoid a collision with vehicles coming from the opposite direction. Unfortunately, he clipped a Volkswagen passenger car and then went into a ditch, partially destroying the concrete fence of a nearby property.
A woman travelling in the Volkswagen was injured in the accident. The injured woman was taken to hospital. The driver who allegedly failed to yield the right of way quickly left the scene.
The Mercedes driver was travelling from Sulików to Ełk. He was transporting rolls of paper. The cargo from the overturned truck was transferred to another vehicle. Traffic on this section was difficult and moved alternately in each direction.
The vehicle recovery operation began at around 6:00 p.m. Traffic disruptions may continue for several more hours.
