Five-car pile-up on S6 expressway near Słupsk leaves two to three people injured

The collision

Several vehicles collided on the S6 expressway toward Gdańsk, between the Wrześnica and Sycewice junctions near Słupsk, shortly after 7:00 on Friday, 13 November. Słupsk police spokesman Amadeusz Galus said five cars were involved, while an early account from Radio Gdańsk had described only several. RMF24 places the crash at Sycewice in Słupsk county, in the Kobylica commune, and reports five vehicles wrecked. Police said the carriageway toward Gdańsk was completely blocked, and rescue crews, firefighters and police were working at the scene.

Injuries and treatment

Radio Gdańsk reported two people hurt, though their condition was unknown at first, and RMF24 also reported two injured. Speaking to Polsat News, Galus said several people had been taken to hospital, three of them women who were receiving help from medical staff.

“Three women were transported to hospital, and medical staff are providing them with help.”

Traffic and conditions

Police directed drivers onto road 112, the former DK6, and officers from Sławno sent traffic through a junction at the old road to Wrześnica, Polsat News reported. Radio Gdańsk described hail falling on the road, while Polsat News reported snow at the scene, so the two accounts of the weather differ. Galus urged drivers to take extra care and said many motorists had not yet fitted winter tyres.

“We are already in November, and many drivers have not yet decided to switch to winter tyres.”

Cause and next steps

Officers were securing traces at the scene so that investigators can establish the circumstances of the collision. The relevant services will determine the causes of the crash, and the sources do not yet say what vehicles were involved or what condition the injured were in.
