Police operations are still on the scene. The car that pulled into the stop has German license plates.

The incident caused major traffic disruptions. Trams of lines 3, 6, 15 in the direction of the Jana Nowak-Jeziorański roundabout take detours along Głogowska and Hetmańska streets. Traffic was blocked in both directions for more than an hour.

On the section from the Baltic Sea to the Jana Nowak-Jeziorański roundabout, a “bus for a tram” replacement transport was launched.
