Eight people died Friday morning in two separate traffic accidents on Hungary’s M1 motorway near the city of Győr, heading towards the Austrian border. The incidents occurred in close proximity to each other. Authorities report that the majority of the victims were citizens of Moldova. Details regarding the cause of the crashes are still under investigation, though initial reports suggest separate incidents rather than a single, multi-vehicle collision. Emergency services responded to the scene and provided assistance. The M1 motorway experienced significant disruptions following the accidents, with traffic rerouted or delayed. This incident marks a tragic start to the weekend on Hungarian roadways.
