At Kontakt24 we received a recording showing how cars turned around and were driving against the flow on the A4 motorway in the Opole region. The reason was said to be a traffic jam after a truck accident.
The recording was sent by Mr. Ryszard, who was driving on this road. – It is an accident on the A4, specifically the line from WrocÅ‚aw to Katowice. The recording is from around 15:45. I drive this road quite often. Some drivers, without waiting for instructions from the services, decided to return to the nearest exit, i.e. Gogolin – KÄ™dzierzyn – Opole, driving against the traffic. There were no services on this road, but the police were at the scene of the accident, and the traffic jam lasted for a good three or four kilometers, he commented. – At the end of the film you can see that a technical car is driving, but when I reached the exit to KÄ™dzierzyn, the possibility of driving there was already blocked. It was impossible to enter there, he added.
The accident occurred on Tuesday around 2:10 p.m. on km 263 of the A4 motorway towards Katowice. Two trucks collided there.
