A Hungarian man died in a road accident caused by an overturned fire engine on duty

A terrible accident happened on Thursday afternoon in the Budaörsi Road’s S curve, in Budapest, where a fire engine hurrying to the scene of an accident turned over falling onto another vehicle and thus causing the death of its driver. Traffic was disrupted for hours until the rescue operations took place in the district, but by the time the medical assistance and the truck-crane arrived on the scene, the Hungarian man died, reports Borsonline.hu.

The tragic accident costing the life of a Hungarian man on Thursday afternoon caused traffic disruption for several hours not only in the intersection of Nagyszőlős Street and Budaörsi Road, where the accident took place, but on the nearby access roads as well. The circumstances of the accident are still unclear and unexplained, but some people witnessing the tragedy reported that the Hungarian man involved in it did not drop dead, but was conscious and talked with a firefighter when they were waiting for the assistance of the ambulance.

The assistance, however, arrived too late. The truck-crane and the ambulance arrived on the spot at once, but by the time the fire engine was successfully lifted up from the Toyota vehicle, the man trapped under debris had suffocated.

According to the information of the paper, the victim of the accident was a 64-year-old man, called János. A firefighter commenting on the accident and requesting confidentiality said that the fire engine in question was inaugurated 10 years ago and
