WARSAW, Aug 18, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Three people were killed and 18 wounded
in southeastern Poland when a bus with Ukrainian tourists headed for Austria
plunged off the road, emergency services said Saturday.
The bus had been travelling from the Ukrainian city of Lviv to Vienna late
Friday when it missed a turn on the National 28 near the village of Leszczawa
Dolna and crashed through the guard rail.
The vehicle plummeted off the road and overturned several times, local fire
service spokesman Grzegorz Latosekf said.
“Three people have died in the accident,” he told TVN 24 television.
According to the PAP news agency, eight of the 18 injured are in a serious
condition.
A number of accidents have already taken place near the spot where the bus
crashed, Polish media said.
