A serious traffic incident occurred Tuesday evening in Budapest’s 12th district at the intersection of Istenhegyi út and Adonis utca. A vehicle operated for grocery delivery services collided with a utility pole, causing the structure to fall onto the car upon impact.
Emergency responders, including disaster management units and utility service technicians, were dispatched to the scene shortly after the collision. The accident necessitated a full closure of the road, leading to significant traffic congestion in the surrounding area.
Public Transport Disruptions
The Budapest Transport Centre (BKK) reported that starting at 18:18, several bus lines were affected by the road closure. Specifically, routes 21, 21A, 210, 212, 212A, and 221 were unable to operate between Svábhegy and Pethényi út due to the accident.
Commuters in the area experienced notable delays as the closure disrupted standard transit patterns. Authorities have not yet released information regarding potential injuries or the extent of the damage to the vehicle and the local utility network.
Looking Ahead
It is likely that the road will remain restricted until the utility pole is safely removed and the power grid is secured. Further updates regarding the cause of the collision and the status of those involved may be provided by local authorities once their assessment of the scene is complete.
