Speeding American soldier caused fatal accident in Hungary: 3 children orphaned – video
Change language:
Moreover, one of the children, an 11-year-old girl, remains in intensive care after sustaining life-threatening injuries in yesterday’s crash. According to information available so far, the culprit was a speeding American soldier who was driving a sports car at such high speed that he crossed into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a Hungarian family’s car.
Three children have been left orphaned
A 43-year-old father of three died as a result of the brutal collision involving a speeding American soldier driving a sports car on the winding Bakony roads between Noszlop and Ajka. The soldier reportedly failed to take road and weather conditions into account and was travelling at excessive speed. After losing control of the vehicle, he crossed into the opposite carriageway and crashed head-on into a family car that was travelling normally.
There were five people in the family car: the parents and their three children. The children, aged 9, 11 and 13, were sitting in the back seats. The family had earlier been skating in Ajka. All five were taken to hospital, but only the 43-year-old father and the 11-year-old girl suffered life-threatening injuries. The father later died from his injuries, meaning the children will now grow up without him. Doctors are still fighting to save the girl’s life.

One child had to be cut free from the car
Hardly anything remains of the front of the family car, as the photo below shows. One of the children was trapped inside and firefighters had to cut him out of the seat. The American soldier’s blue sports car looks far better, but its front end sustained obvious damage.
According to SzolnokOn, the crash was caused by a misinterpreted racing situation. The American soldier, who was driving a Dodge, allegedly attempted to overtake a Honda he considered sporty, perceiving the situation as a race. While the Honda driver slowed down, the soldier accelerated too aggressively, lost control of his vehicle and crashed into the five-member family’s Dacia. One of the Dodge’s wheels detached upon impact and struck the Honda, which was also badly damaged. This report includes additional photos of the Dodge.
Death penalty. Period.
This is what NATO is important for, to kill innocent people. Congratulations Hungary for being part of such a terrorist organization
@Mono, I’ve been living in Hungary for four years now and when I see how Hungarian drivers behave in traffic, I get the shivers! Driving too fast, overtaking recklessly, tailgating, etc. … What I also notice is that many drivers are busy with their cell phones while driving!This should be monitored much more rigorously! When I notice oncoming traffic deviating from their lane because they are using their cell phones, I am on my guard! In Belgium, using a mobile phone while driving is considered a third category offence! The police will immediately revoke the driver’s license for 14 days!A report will also be drawn up and you will have to appear before the police court! You will receive a €200 fine and the judge will order you to retake your theory and practical exams.He will also impose an additional driving ban that could last up to several months! The police are very strict about this and have equipment to flash you, so they can see that you were using your cell phone while driving! Claiming that NATO is killing innocent people while driving is ridiculous!
Mono, you are loco! NATO is a terrorist organization??? You need to have your head examined.
