Collision Details on the S8 Route

On Tuesday, August 11, before 1:00 PM on the S8 route near Wypędy in Pruszków County, a collision occurred between two trucks, completely blocking the road toward Katowice and Tarczyn without any injuries reported.

The incident took place near Sokołów on the roadway leading toward Katowice, where preliminary findings indicate a Mercedes truck was on the emergency lane when a MAN truck driver struck its rear.

Spilled Cargo and Fuel Leak

The force of the impact damaged both vehicles, causing engine oil bottles transported in the Mercedes to spill onto the roadway, while fuel began leaking from the damaged MAN.

Road Closure and Emergency Response

Initially, drivers could bypass the scene using one lane, but the situation changed after the fire department arrived and completely closed the roadway to secure the site, the damaged trucks, and the leaking fluids.

Currently, the S8 route toward Katowice and Tarczyn is completely blocked, and drivers must expect disruptions since no one was injured, meaning the closure time depends primarily on securing the site, cleaning up the leak, and removing the damaged vehicles from the roadway.
