The incident occurred on September 30. After 2:00 p.m., The Bad Bunzlauerreported the matter:

Don't go down Sierpnia '80 Street, because they cornered some hero there, cars are reversing and there's quite a commotion.

As it turned out, the driver had entered the street… driving against traffic.

The police intervened. There was a suspicion that the driver might be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. However, that was not the case.

The truth turned out to be far less sensational—the man was sober; he had simply… been distracted. He was fined.
