A serious accident occurred today (April 23) on the A4 motorway, approximately 2 km before the border crossing. The van driver crashed into the back of a truck that was stopped in a traffic jam.
The force of the collision was tremendous, yet the van driver survived and can consider himself extremely lucky.
Firefighters from Zgorzelec who took part in the rescue operation are appealing for particular caution in border areas, where sudden slowdowns and traffic jams often occur.
A moment of inattention can have serious consequences—it's worth taking your foot off the accelerator and remaining alert.
