Brutal collision on Balaton 77! 🚗💥

Serious traffic accident alerted traffic in the Balaton highlands: a van and a car collided on highway 77, near Nagyvázsony, between the 17th and 18th. at kilometer intervals. This key road connects the northern shore of Lake Balaton - for example Balatonfüred and the surrounding settlements - with Veszprém and the regions leading to Bakony, so it can make travel difficult for vacationers and locals. 🚗💥

In the accident, the passenger of the passenger car was trapped in the wreckage, and was freed by the professional firefighters of Veszprém with tension cutters and the rescue service. The firefighters cut off the power to the vehicles, while the Nagyvázsony volunteer firefighters also went to the scene. An ambulance helicopter arrived to treat the injured as soon as possible and transport him to the hospital. At the time of the accident, there was a significant congestion, which especially affects those rushing to the beaches on the Lake Balaton in summer.

Obstructing traffic on the road section around Nagyvázsony may affect Balaton tourism: traffic in the direction of Balatonfüred, Tapolca or even the southern coast may become slower. For locals who use this road on a daily basis to go to work or go shopping, this means extra stress in the middle of the season. Currently, the police are on the scene, traffic has partially resumed, but you should avoid the area. 🚑

This is another reminder for Balaton families and vacationers: you need to be extra careful on the roads in the highlands due to the mountain bends. Follow local sources for up-to-date information!
