The pattern of fatal and serious traffic accidents in the Czech Republic and Slovakia continues. In Prague, politician Filip Turek was involved in a collision between his Mercedes-Benz and a medical transport vehicle from Na Homolce Hospital. While police records initially categorized the incident as ‘reckless, aggressive and inconsiderate driving’, officials clarified this was an automated classification pending investigation. The collision caused 340,000 CZK in damages and a medium-severity head injury to the ambulance driver; Turek has denied fault, suggesting his reaction may have saved a life. In Slovakia, a multi-vehicle collision on the I/75 road between Tvrdošovce and Nové Zámky resulted in two deaths. A Peugeot struck a stationary van before veering into oncoming traffic and colliding with a Tesla; the Peugeot driver and a female passenger were killed, though a minor in the vehicle was uninjured.
