Czech Republic: Series of traffic accidents and police enforcement actions

Multiple traffic incidents and police operations have been reported across the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In Plzeň, a driver was caught violating a no-entry zone, only for police to discover he lacked a valid driver's license and refused a drug test. Another incident in Plzeň involved a collision at a busy intersection where a vehicle struck a wall on a sidewalk, resulting in injuries to the occupants.

In the Karlovy Vary region, a bus carrying 12 passengers and a driver crashed on an icy road near Cheb, causing minor injuries to two people. In Žďár nad Sázavou, a 62-year-old driver under the influence of nearly 2.0 permille of alcohol struck a bus at a stop, narrowly missing pedestrians on the sidewalk.

In Slovakia, a collision between two trucks and a car in the Donovaly pass resulted in one truck overturning into a stream, though no serious injuries were reported. In Lúčky, an intoxicated driver collided head-on with a vehicle carrying a mother and two children, leaving them in shock.

Additionally, police in the Liberec region conducted checks at railway crossings and roads, issuing over 100,000 CZK in fines for violations such as ignoring signs and using mobile phones while driving. In Olomouc, increased traffic congestion was reported near cemeteries during the All Souls' Day period.
