Fatal accidents reported in Kretinga and Vilnius

A fatal collision occurred in the Kretinga district on the evening of October 26, 2026. A train struck a passenger car at a railway crossing in Kūlupėnai on Priestočio Street, resulting in the death of the female driver. Authorities have not yet released details regarding the driver's age, the vehicle involved, or the specific circumstances leading to the collision. It remains unclear if the crossing's safety equipment was functioning correctly or if train services were disrupted.

In a separate legal proceeding in Vilnius, a witness testified regarding a fatal car accident in the Žirmūnai district. The witness, Dangiras Baukys, claimed that the driver, Dalius Miežinis, suddenly lost consciousness, suggesting a potential medical episode such as epilepsy, before the vehicle struck a curb and a tree. The testimony was met with skepticism from the victim's brother during the court hearing.
