During Wednesday\u2019s hearing in the \u0141ukasz \u017bak trial regarding the fatal Trasa \u0141azienkowska accident, a key witness testified that the defendant threatened her and her partner following the collision.<\/p>\n
The trial, which began in June 2025 at the Warsaw-\u015ar\u00f3dmie\u015bcie District Court, saw a delay on Wednesday after a scheduled expert witness failed to appear. Consequently, the court could not close the judicial inquiry.<\/p>\n
Sara S., who was a passenger in the Volkswagen Arteon, provided testimony while the defendants were removed from the courtroom at her request. She admitted to previous inconsistencies in her statements, which she attributed to fear of retaliation from \u017bak.<\/p>\n
The witness testified that after the crash, \u017bak threatened her and her partner, stating, “We were to shut up, or he would take a knife.” She further claimed that \u017bak had suggested he had killed a man during the incident.<\/p>\n
Sara S. also recounted the vehicle’s speed, noting she observed the speedometer reach 171 km\/h, while her partner later informed her it hit 191 km\/h. She expressed regret for failing to notify emergency services immediately following the event.<\/p>\n
The accident occurred on September 15, 2024, when a speeding Volkswagen collided with a Ford on Warsaw’s Trasa \u0141azienkowska, killing a 37-year-old passenger. The driver of the Ford and her two children were hospitalized, alongside Paulina K., who was traveling with \u017bak.<\/p>\n
Investigators determined that \u017bak was intoxicated and using his mobile phone at the time of the crash, allegedly reaching speeds of 226 km\/h in an 80 km\/h zone. Following the incident, \u017bak fled the country and was later apprehended in L\u00fcbeck, Germany, under a European Arrest Warrant.<\/p>\n
