Farmers protests result in tragic road accident - one woman dead

A 46-year old woman was killed in a car crash, which occurred in farmers road block on the Warsaw-Poznan route. The protest caused a 2-kilometer traffic jam. Just a few minutes before the blockade was due to end, a Scania truck hit the back of the last car in the jam with such a force that the vehicle was pushed under the tail of another truck. The car was squashed between the two trucks and the female driver died on the spot. "After the tragic news the farmers decided they would leave the road. It is still unknown whether the truck driver did not see the car, or if his breaks failed," said Kutno Deputy Police Commissioner Dariusz Buchala. The police was unable to question the lorry driver who was in shock after the crash. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) M.M.
