Accident Details
Nearly 3 p.m. on Placu Vogla, a BMW crashed into the display window of a toy store in Wilanów. The driver had parked the vehicle, left the engine running, and when she stepped out to answer a phone call, the car rolled forward. She re-entered and pressed the accelerator instead of the brake, driving the vehicle into the storefront and eventually into the shop’s interior.

A single fire brigade squad is on site, securing the area and mitigating hazards. Police noted a long wait time due to other incidents across Warsaw. Traffic to parts of the shopping complex may be temporarily restricted, and drivers and customers are urged to follow officials’ instructions.
