Morning Collision on Żbikowska Street

Today, August 3, at around 6:00 AM near Żbikowska Street in Pruszków, a traffic incident occurred involving a tractor-trailer with a semi-trailer. The truck driver fell ill, causing the vehicle to crash into concrete barriers that block passage toward Fiołkowa Street. The man sustained a shoulder injury and was transported to the hospital.

Ignored Road Restrictions

The driver of the heavy vehicle drove into a narrow section of Żbikowska Street despite posted signs indicating a traffic ban for trucks heading toward nearby warehouses. Passage in that area was physically restricted using concrete barriers.

Emergency Services Response

While driving, the driver suffered a malaise, lost control of the vehicle, and struck the concrete elements placed on the road. The fire department, police, and a medical rescue team were dispatched to the scene.

After examining the man, rescuers decided to transport him to the hospital due to a shoulder injury. Testing showed he was sober and possessed the required qualifications to drive the vehicle.

Fuel Spill and Ongoing Traffic Blockade

The impact damaged the fuel tanks of the tractor-trailer, causing several hundred liters of fuel to leak onto the roadway. Firefighters secured the scene and the spilled fuel to mitigate further hazards.

Żbikowska Street at the height of property number 55 remains completely blocked. Disruptions are expected to last until the damaged heavy vehicle set is towed away, which is anticipated around 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM.
