The motorcyclist sustained fractures to their arms and legs and was taken to the hospital after receiving on-site medical attention. The accident caused traffic disruptions, blocking straight passage from Wawelska Street to Kopińska Street and along Grójecka Street towards Okęcie.
The van driver actively assisted during the rescue operation.
