Series of Dangerous Accidents on Roads and LPR Intervention After Paraglider Crash

Sunday afternoon in the Lublin region was marked by a rescue operation in the village of Gorajec-Zastawie. A 57-year-old paraglider from the Podkarpackie Voivodeship crashed into a field near national road 74. Due to the injuries sustained, a LPR helicopter was called to the scene, which transported the man to a hospital in Lublin. Police and aviation authorities are currently investigating the causes of this unfortunate incident. The history of air rescue in Poland began in the 1920s, but the modern structures of the Air Ambulance Service in its current form have been operating since 2000.„Główne działania zostały już zakończone, ale na miejscu jeszcze pozostali strażacy OSP, którzy pomagają w zabezpieczeniu miejsca zdarzenia.” (The main operations have already been concluded, but firefighters from the Volunteer Fire Department (OSP) remain on site, assisting in securing the scene.) — Captain Grzegorz PolokA very dangerous collision also occurred in Rybnik on Chrobrego Street. As a result of a collision between a BMW and an Opel, one of the drivers was trapped in the crushed car. Firefighters had to use specialized hydraulic tools to extract him. A family with a two-year-old child was also involved in the accident, and a total of two people were taken to the hospital. Simultaneously, on the Opole section of the A4 motorway, a car rolled over, injuring two people. The hydrological situation caused by the thaw is beginning to affect land traffic safety. In Greater Poland, near the town of Stara Łubianka, a serious accident occurred on national road 10. It was necessary to introduce alternating one-way traffic while services worked at the scene. Meanwhile, in the towns of Bartolino and Sulechowo, local Volunteer Fire Department (OSP) units fought meltwater that threatened private properties and local technical infrastructure, including a transformer station. The phenomenon of spring thaw is one of the main causes of so-called rainfall-thaw floods in Poland, which historically have caused the greatest damage to road and energy infrastructure.57 — years old is the paraglider injured near ZamośćNumber of Injured in Selected Incidents: Accident in Rybnik: 2, Rollover on A4: 2, Pile-up on S3: 5, Accident near Tuchola: 3, Pile-up on DK 94: 3Comparison of the Most Serious Weekend Accidents: Pile-up on S3: 7 vehicles → 1 fatality; Rybnik Accident: 2 cars → 2 injured; Paraglider: Flight start → LPR transport
