A police patrol car collided with a Seat passenger vehicle on regional road DW 776 in Biórków Mały, near Proszowice in the Małopolska region, on Saturday, March 14, 2026, injuring two police officers who were subsequently transported to hospital. The accident occurred during an urgent police intervention. After the collision with the Seat, the patrol car left the road and struck a concrete culvert and a power pole. Both drivers involved in the accident tested sober.
According to preliminary findings reported by Polish media, the collision happened as the patrol car was overtaking a column of vehicles when one of the drivers began turning left. The force of the impact was sufficient to push the police vehicle off the road entirely before it struck the roadside infrastructure. Both injured officers were taken to hospital following the incident. The accident took place on Saturday morning, according to web search results citing regional outlets.
Biórków Mały is a village in the Proszowice district of the Małopolska region in southern Poland, administratively part of the Gmina Koniusza municipality. The DW 776 road runs through this rural area, where road conditions and traffic patterns can pose challenges for emergency vehicles responding at speed. Polish police patrol cars are routinely dispatched under emergency protocols that permit overtaking and other maneuvers, which can increase collision risk on regional roads.
On the same day, Polish police announced a black road alert, according to Dziennik Zachodni, following a series of serious road incidents including the death of a 23-year-old man. The alert signals an exceptionally dangerous period on public roads. The specific circumstances of the fatal incident involving the 23-year-old were not confirmed in detail by the available sources. The two separate events — the patrol car crash in Biórków Mały and the fatal accident prompting the alert — occurred on the same day in the region, according to reporting from March 14, 2026.
