Borders paralized by striking customs officers claim lives

By Friday, crossing the Polish border at Dornohusk took 46-48 hours. The queues have now grown to around 50 kilometers and it takes a few days to cross the borders. Truck drivers announced on Friday that either the government will solve the problem or they will head to Warsaw later today to block the roads. The queues have already led to two deaths among the drivers. One driver died of a heart attack after waiting three days to cross the border, while another person burnt himself to death while heating the truck's cab. Protesting officers rejected the proposition from the government of a zł.500 increase and are demanding a sum three times higher.
