On the morning of the incident, Polish police reported a fatal accident involving a Lithuanian driver's van that collided head-on with a truck. The driver of the Renault minivan, a 60-year-old Lithuanian citizen, struck a Volvo truck with a semi-trailer around 5 AM. Shortly after this initial collision, a Mercedes minivan crashed into the Renault, adding to the tragedy. The Renault minivan was carrying nine individuals when the accidents occurred, resulting in the death of the driver and one passenger sitting next to him. The passenger was identified as 23-year-old D.K. from Rokiškis, whose death has sent shockwaves through his hometown. He was reportedly returning home for vacation after working for an international employment agency. This incident highlights the dangers on the road and the potential perils faced by those traveling, particularly in unfamiliar or busy traffic conditions. The loss of young lives such as D.K. serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the necessity of road safety measures, particularly when traveling abroad.
