The 78-year-old was overtaking a line of vehicles when a truck was approaching from the opposite direction. To avoid a head-on collision, he tried to hide behind the tractor. As a result, the tractor overturned into a ditch, spilling corn onto the road, and the fuel tank of the truck was damaged. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the collision.

How did the collision occur?

Wanting to avoid a collision with a Renault truck traveling correctly from the opposite direction towards Ciasna, he tried to hide behind a farm tractor. As a result, he collided with two vehicles. He hit a tractor trailer, which overturned into a ditch and corn spilled onto the road. Citroen also hit a Renault, whose fuel tank was damaged, reports Monika Wacławek.
