A heavily intoxicated repeat offender with four lifetime driving bans crashed his car into another vehicle at a railway crossing in Bieniewice on July 25, 2026, creating debris that forced an emergency passenger train stop and nearly causing a major rail disaster. <\/p>\n
The District Prosecutor’s Office in Grodzisk Mazowiecki under case reference 4308-4.Ds.1866.2026 is investigating Krzysztof T., who is suspected of offenses under Article 178a \u00a7 4 of the Penal Code in conjunction with Articles 174 \u00a7 1, 178 \u00a7 1, 11 \u00a7 2, and 64 \u00a7 1.<\/p>\n
Driving a Citroen C8 while intoxicated, Krzysztof T. collided with the rear of a preceding passenger car on Purzyckiego Street in Bieniewice on July 25, 2026. The collision left numerous debris fragments on the tracks, which were subsequently struck by PKP IC passenger train No. 8130 operating on the Ko\u0142obrzeg-Warszawa Wschodnia route, forcing an emergency stop and creating an immediate danger of a land transport disaster.<\/p>\n
Alcohol breath tests administered to the driver during the incident recorded readings of 1.50 mg\/l on the first test, 1.44 mg\/l on the second, 1.44 mg\/l on the third, 1.25 mg\/l on the fourth, 1.29 mg\/l on the fifth, and 1.44 mg\/l on the sixth test.<\/p>\n
Krzysztof T. was previously subject to four lifetime bans on operating all mechanical vehicles issued following convictions by the District Courts in Pruszk\u00f3w, Grodzisk Mazowiecki, Kolbuszowa, and \u017byrard\u00f3w. Criminal records show the suspect served a three-year prison sentence from December 29, 2019, to December 25, 2022, under a combined judgment for driving under the influence of alcohol as a repeat offender.<\/p>\n
The suspect confessed to the alleged offense, explaining that he had maintained abstinence for several years but consumed alcohol on the day of the incident because it was his name day.<\/p>\n
To secure the proper course of proceedings, the prosecutor filed a motion with the local court for a three-month preventive detention measure. The court granted the prosecutor’s request, fully adopting the argument concerning the need to protect public safety by minimizing the threat of traffic accidents caused by the suspect. The suspect faces up to 12 years in prison.<\/p>\n
Further stages of the proceedings require verifying the number of passengers and assessing the value of the train to evaluate the scale of the disaster threatened by the suspect’s actions.<\/p>\n
Additionally, investigators must interview remaining witnesses, obtain a forensic medical opinion regarding injuries sustained by the passenger in the struck vehicle, and secure expert opinions on accident reconstruction and video recordings to evaluate the suspect’s vehicle speed and the causes of the crash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
