The Silesian police are looking for the drivers of two trucks that, with their hazard lights on, were driving against the flow of the S1 expressway on the Węgierska Górka – Bielsko-Biała section (Silesian Voivodeship). The recording of an extremely dangerous situation, in which only the attitude of other drivers prevented the tragedy, went online.
A recording showing an extremely dangerous situation that occurred on Saturday around 10 p.m. on the S1 expressway in the province. Silesia, published on Facebook by the Żywiec 112 portal. The video recorded by a dash cam shows two trucks driving against the flow in the extreme left lane of the road on the Węgierska Górka – Bielsko-Biała section. Both vehicles had their hazard lights on. They pass passenger cars that avoid a head-on collision on the remaining two lanes, including the one exiting the “expressway”.
If it weren't for the observance of other drivers, the situation could have ended tragically. In the end, however, no one was hurt. It is not known how long both trucks drove against traffic or why their drivers decided to blatantly disregard the regulations and safety rules.
The police are looking for drivers
As TVN24 reported on Sunday, the Silesian police press team reported that officers received a report on this matter from other drivers. However, the patrols sent to the site did not encounter any trucks.
– But that doesn't end the matter. Żywiec police officers are appealing to drivers who traveled on this section on Saturday evening to come forward with information that could help the police identify the vehicles, which will allow the uniformed officers to punish the drivers – staff aspirant Adam Jachmiczak from the press team of the Silesian Police told TVN24.
