Car filled the parking lots in Balatonberény! 💥

There was a serious traffic accident 🚨 in Balatonberény, a quiet but summertime sparkling town on the southern shore of Lake Balaton, which could affect beachgoers and local traffic. On the section of Kossuth Lajos utca between Szabadság utca and Dózsa György utca, a car collided with three parked vehicles, and the force of the collision caused one of the cars to overturn on its side.

The professional firefighters from Keszthely quickly arrived on the scene, disconnected the power from the affected cars, thus eliminating the risk of fire. Due to the accident, the authorities temporarily closed the affected section of Kossuth Lajos utca 🛑, which, as the main street of the village, is crucial for Balaton vacationers. In Balatonberény, where the beach and campsites attract families, this closure may cause congestion on the roads leading to the south coast, making it difficult for those coming from Fonyód or Balatonmáriafürdő.

For local residents and seasonal guests, this situation is particularly delicate during the summer season: the main street connects the Balaton promenade with the inland parking lots and shops. The police are still investigating the cause of the accident, but drivers are advised to be careful in heavy traffic around Lake Balaton. For up-to-date information, keep an eye on the local traffic surveyors to avoid detours towards Keszthely or highway 7.

The accident points to the transport challenges of the Balaton region: the lack of parking spaces and the rush of vacationers increase the risks on the coastal streets. We will update the news as new details arrive.
