Rescuers treated six people, Mikisková said. The injured had contusions of the chest or head, four of them were taken by paramedics to the Olomouc University Hospital, two to the hospital in Přerov for surgery for further examination, she added.
The accident happened on the first class road number 55, which connects Olomouc with Přerov. “Our bus was called to the scene, in which thermal comfort was ensured while waiting for a replacement bus,” the firefighters said on the X social network.
The road managers in the Olomouc and Zlín regions warned of possible ice on the roads this evening. The reason is drizzle and a drop in temperatures below freezing. In the Olomouc Region, drivers should be especially careful on second and third class roads in Olomouc, Přerovsk and Prostějovsk, according to traffic information from the Directorate of Roads and Highways (ŘSD). Road officials also recommended increased caution due to continuous fog.
