The accident occurred at kilometre 54 of the A4 motorway, beyond Szczytnica, on the lane heading towards the border. According to unofficial information, a passenger car first braked suddenly because a roe deer jumped onto the road. Another passenger car collided with the braking vehicle. A total of six people were travelling in the cars—one person with a disability was injured. Paramedics are assisting them.
The road towards the border is completely blocked. Firefighters and police officers are providing assistance at the scene.
