A six-vehicle collision on a Łomianki viaduct Sunday afternoon resulted in two fatalities, one critical injury, and the detention of two individuals.
Initial Reports and Witness Appeal
Police in Stare Babice are appealing for information regarding a Sunday accident on the viaduct over Brukowa Street in Łomianki. They specifically request contact from drivers with dashcam footage and occupants of a red Renault vehicle that was traveling parallel to the crash site.
Investigators emphasize that any information could be crucial in determining the exact circumstances of the tragedy. The Warsaw-Żoliborz District Prosecutor’s Office is leading the investigation.
Details of the Collision
The accident occurred around 5:40 PM on Sunday on national road number 7, on the viaduct over Brukowa Street, heading towards Warsaw. Initial reports indicated four vehicles were involved, but police now state six vehicles were involved.
Following a collision between an Audi and a Toyota traveling towards Warsaw, the Toyota overturned onto the opposite lane, colliding with another Audi, a BMW, a Honda, and another Toyota. Two passengers in the latter Toyota died at the scene, and its driver was airlifted to the hospital by the Air Ambulance Service.
Fatalities and Injuries
A woman and a teenager were killed at the scene. One person received medical attention on-site. Earlier reports indicated one vehicle overturned and 11 people were traveling in the vehicles involved.
Information Discrepancies and Traffic Disruption
There is a discrepancy between earlier and later information regarding the number of vehicles involved. Initial reports mentioned four cars, while a later police appeal referred to six. However, the key details remain consistent: two fatalities and one critical injury.
Vehicle Departure and Arrests
Police later revealed that one vehicle left the scene immediately after the accident. Authorities initially withheld this information to avoid hindering their investigation. Around 3:30 AM, the suspect vehicle was located, and two men were detained.
The vehicle has been secured, and forensic experts from the Warsaw Police Headquarters Criminalistics Laboratory will conduct a detailed examination. The case is ongoing.
Continued Appeal for Information
Investigators are prioritizing witness statements and footage from the area. Police are renewing their appeal to anyone who witnessed the collision or was traveling nearby at the time to contact the Stare Babice Police Command by phone, email, or in person.
