Child dies when car crashes into another with refugees

One child died and five people were injured when a car carrying illegal migrants veered off the M5 motorway and crashed in south-eastern Hungary early on Tuesday, Bács-Kiskun County police said.

On the side of the M5 motorway leading to the capital, at km 66, a car with Romanian license plate number drifted off the road for unknown reasons and drove into a ditch at 6:03 AM on 1 August 2023, police.hu reports. The accident left one child dead and five others injured.

A Moldovan national was driving seven migrants in the car with Romanian number plates. The motorway near Lajosmizse has been partially closed to traffic. The police ask for the increased attention and patience of drivers.
