According to Blikk, a Hungarian tabloid, the incident occurred on Monday in Fonyód, a picturesque town near Lake Balaton. Two cars approached an intersection from opposite directions at the same time, both intending to turn left. However, it appears that the Seat driver became distracted by the Suzuki. Focused on the other vehicle’s movements, the Seat driver failed to notice that a mother with her children intended to cross the street. The Seat accelerated, leading to an unavoidable collision. Neither the pedestrians nor the vehicle had time to react.
