The accident involving a truck that crashed into the center barriers near Jesenice and ended up on its side has been complicating traffic on the Prague ring road since Tuesday morning. The truck blocked all lanes, so cars can only pass in the parking lane in both directions. Long lines form. Firefighters freed the wedged truck driver, and paramedics took him to the hospital with injuries to his abdomen and pelvis. This follows from information from firefighters, police and rescue services.
The truck crashed on the second kilometer of the circuit in the direction of D5 on the border between Prague and Central Bohemia, which is why rescue services from both regions intervened there together. The vehicle ended up on its side after breaking through the barriers and blocked all lanes of traffic. “Traffic is restricted in the area and only the parking lane is open in both directions,” she said on the X Prague network https://twitter.com/PolicieCZ/status/1787768820079137028.
