Another black weekend on Poland's roads as accident claims eight lives

The death toll on Polish roads rose dramatically this weekend as 8 people died in an accident in Grabin near Plock. Only two females, aged 21 and 13, survived the crash. They were taken to hospital for treatment. The accident took place at 5.50 a.m. when two cars were involved in a head-on collision. The driver of a Fiat 126p, carrying five young men coming back from a disco, was driving in the left lane of the road and hit an oncoming Polonez containing a family on their way to Jasna Gora sanctuary. All of the victims were between 19 and 23 years old. (Rzeczpospolita, page A1; Gazeta Wyborcza, page 1) J.K.
