“According to the conclusions of expert investigations, both drivers are to blame for the accident. The driver of the bus was wrong when he was standing unmarked on a busy three-lane road, and the driver of the truck had to adjust the driving so that he would not run into an obstacle, “the spokesman specified.

In connection with the accident, Chaloupka stressed the importance of marking the parked vehicle, as well as a timely sign of a change of direction when driving around it. “Thanks to this, other participants know about the obstacle in advance, they can react earlier and thus prevent a possible collision,” the spokesman added.
