Incident Details
On Saturday, February 21 after 11 AM, a dangerous collision occurred on the S7 expressway near Kazuń Nowy in the Czosnów commune. An 83-year-old resident of Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki was driving a Smart car against traffic when he collided with a Mazda driven by a 70-year-old Warsaw resident.
