In a traffic accident that occurred while heading towards Kaunas, a 'Mercedes-Benz' collided with a 'Volvo', along with a third unidentified vehicle that fled the scene, as the driver had no damage claims. Witnesses indicated that no medical assistance was needed, and only the vehicles sustained damage. Loreta Kairienė reported these initial observations.

The police from the capital, Vilnius, were dispatched to the scene to investigate the circumstances of the accident and identify the at-fault party. The incident heightened traffic concerns as data from the navigation app 'Waze' indicated that during the evening rush hour, a massive traffic jam formed towards Vilnius, beginning from the Gariūnai market area. This significant congestion not only affected local commuters but also highlighted the ongoing issues related to road safety and infrastructure in the region.

As the investigation proceeds, the implications of such accidents weigh heavily on urban planning and the need for better traffic management strategies. The accident serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety, especially during peak hours, prompting discussions about potential measures to alleviate traffic woes in busy urban areas like Vilnius.
