Huge pile-up shakes Balaton route 8! đźš—đź’Ą
🚨 A serious collision complicates the road to the northern shore: two cars crashed on route 8 near Veszprém at km 57, directly affecting holidaymakers heading to Balatonfüred or Balatonalmádi.
Both drivers travelled alone; fortunately no serious injuries. Veszprém firefighters de-energised wrecks and secured the scene. Ambulance attended; drivers are stable. Traffic currently runs on one lane, likely causing major jams.
Mid Balaton season this is especially awkward: many choose route 8 on the Veszprém–Balaton loop for beaches or harbours. Locals' commute is harder; tourists may miss boat trips. Use route 71 or detours and watch live traffic. Restriction may last until police finish investigation. ⚠️
