The incident occurred last week in the Nowogrodziec municipality. The man, driving a horse-drawn sleigh, lost control of the team, which overturned and hit a tree. The resident of the Nowogrodziec municipality died in hospital. He was 82 years old.
Bolesławiec police officers appeal to drivers of all kinds of vehicles, including sleighs, to exercise caution. Difficult road conditions and failure to adjust speed can cause accidents with tragic consequences.
