💥 Shocking frontal crash on Balaton 71!

On the vital route of the northern shore of Lake Balaton, near Tihany, a head-on collision occurred on highway 71, which immediately paralyzed traffic in Balaton. 🚨 Two passenger cars collided at kilometer 44, right at the entrance to the Tihany peninsula, where thousands of vacationers and locals travel daily to the beach or the beaches of Balatonfüred.

The professional firefighters from Balatonfüred quickly arrived on the scene and cut off the power to the vehicles to prevent further accidents. The ambulance service was also alerted, and the injured are being treated. The entire width of the affected road section was closed, causing significant congestion in both directions.

This accident affects the Balaton region particularly sensitively in the middle of the summer season: highway 71 is key in the Tihany-Balatonfüred connection, where tourists flock to the lavender fields, the Echo or the Balaton boat ports. Getting to work is a daily ordeal for locals, while vacationers can get stuck in their planned programs. Route 73 is recommended as a detour, but traffic has increased there as well.

According to the disaster management, the site investigation is still being carried out, until then everyone is advised to be patient. Let's update the traffic apps to avoid further chaos around the lake! ⚠️
