Fatal car crash at Károly körút – shocking video

The police published a shocking video about the car crash on Sunday night at Károly körút. The 17-year-old driver lost his life immediately, and a 14-year-old passenger was taken to hospital in critical condition.

The 17-year-old driver had no driving licence, and was most likely driving over the maximum speed limit, Telex reported. After a right turn, the car went off-road and crashed into an electric pole near Astoria.

About the driver

The 17-year-old driver, Attila starred at a Hungarian talent show called Kismenők. Despite his outstanding talent, Attila had a tough time growing up, Bors Online says. He first appeared in Kismenők talent show on TV2 where his voice made a huge impression on the Hungarian audience, as well as on celebrities participating in the show.

Attila’s father was out of town, and his mother could not be with him either, so he was staying with some relatives. On the night of the accident, he attended a party, from where he wanted to take his friend home with an old car – that was allegedly in poor condition –, even though he did not own a driving license. They were tired and in a hurry, crossed the speed limit, and at Károly körút, Astoria, crashed into an electric pole. The car completely broke, and Attila lost his life on the scene, despite all ambulance effort. His friend survived – which seems miraculous, considering the tragic accident – and was taken to hospital in critical condition.
