The accident happened on the section between Bak and Pölöske. Information from the Zala county news portal according to the Zalaegerszeg and Pacsa firefighters and the ambulances were called to the scene. The truck drifted into the ditch, and its trailer occupies the entire width of the road, so those driving on it should expect a complete closure for several hours. As far as we know, there is also a fatality in the accident.
According to the newspaper, in the so-called Sohollar bends, a vehicle with a trailer with Hungarian license plates heading towards Keszthely from Bak collided with a Volkswagen LT type pickup truck, also with Hungarian license plates, coming from the scene under circumstances that are still unclear. The driver of the latter – a middle-aged man living in a settlement in Zala county – suffered life-threatening injuries during the accident, so he died on the spot.
Firefighters removed his body from the passenger compartment of his vehicle.
There was one person in both vehicles, the driver of the trailer was not injured. The road was wet due to the rain, but clean, i.e. free of leaves and broken twigs. To investigate the causes of the accident and to determine the question of responsibility, the police launched an investigation with the involvement of experts.
