A municipal bus crashed into a tram and seven cars in Warsaw on Sunday, leaving six people injured, as investigators examine whether a mechanical fault played a role in the incident. <\/p>\n
On Sunday at 6:22 PM, a Solaris Urbino 18 municipal bus crashed into a tram at the intersection of Gr\u00f3jecka and Bitwy Warszawskiej streets in Warsaw. The vehicle then continued toward Rondo Zes\u0142a\u0144c\u00f3w Syberyjskich, colliding with at least seven other vehicles.<\/p>\n
Six people were injured in the incident, and two individuals, including one minor, were transported to the hospital. The 58-year-old Polish driver was found to be sober and tested negative for drugs.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor stated that the driver is currently being questioned as a witness. Authorities have secured internal bus surveillance, which suggests a possible vehicle malfunction, and will examine the data from the bus’s event recorder.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors are analyzing potential similarities between this event and a June 2026 incident in Gliwice, where a driver reported an electronic failure that locked the accelerator pedal. Experts will also be appointed to assess the extent of the victims’ injuries.<\/p>\n
MZA spokesperson Adam Stawicki dismissed speculation regarding a stuck accelerator pedal, stating that the specific bus series has no history of such defects. He added that a potentiometer failure would likely immobilize the vehicle rather than cause it to accelerate.<\/p>\n
MZA is coordinating with the manufacturer, Solaris Bus & Coach, to provide technical support. The company also explicitly denied rumors concerning the possibility of remote control over the vehicle, confirming that no such technical capability exists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
