A serious accident shook Berhida! 🚨

The serious traffic accident in Berhida, where two passenger cars collided head-on at the corner of Veszprémi út and Bem József utca, may also affect vacationers and local residents of the northern shore of Lake Balaton. This intersection is crucial for traffic coming from Veszprém, heading in the direction of Balatonalmádi or Balatonfüred - it causes congestion towards the lakeside settlements right in the middle of the beach season. 🚨

Fortunately, only the drivers of the two vehicles were in the accident, no one needed hospital treatment. Professional firefighters from Pétfürdő quickly arrived on the scene, de-energized the wreckage, and then secured the area. The affected road section is currently closed, and the police and disaster management staff are investigating the situation. Traffic on Veszprémi út will be diverted, which may cause significant delays for families and tourists trying to reach the Balaton highlands.

Behrida, as a settlement serving as the gateway to Lake Balaton, often sees a line of cars from lakeside holiday homes. This accident is particularly annoying during peak weekend traffic: those heading to Almadi beach or the port of Füred should expect an extra half hour, or perhaps choose highway 71 as an alternative. Disruption of local traffic is also a problem for the locals, as the Pétfürdő spa complex and the Balaton bike routes also lead there. Keep an eye on your local traffipax for up-to-date information! 🚗
