Five Poles were killed and four people injured when a goods van crashed into a lorry on the motorway outside Brno on Thursday. The crash occurred at a section of the motorway where the number of lanes was reduced to allow repairs. The section of motorway on the main D1 route linking the west and east of the country has been closed to traffic in both directionsThe accident is likely the worst so far this year on Czech roads.
