The morning commute to work in Prešov could be longer today: a multi-car accident involving four vehicles happened on Vranovská street, which is part of the I/18 road. The crash happened in the direction of the city center, and one lane is blocked because of it.

The local publication Prešovák reports about the traffic restrictions. Vranovská is one of the main roads drivers use to get to the center of Prešov from the northwest, so even one blocked lane during rush hour significantly slows down traffic.

If you are driving to the center of Prešov today, allow extra time or look for a detour. Drivers already stuck in the traffic jam are advised to keep their distance: chain-reaction collisions, where one car hits another while approaching a traffic jam, are the most common type of accident on such main roads.

There is no information about any injuries at the time of publication. We will monitor the situation and report if the traffic restrictions continue for a long time.
