Seven people have been killed and two injured in western Hungary when a minibus crashed into a truck idling in traffic caused by an earlier collision.
The crash on the M1 highway, near Gyor, 122km west of Budapest, followed an earlier incident in the same area in which a truck collided with a construction vehicle.
One person died in that crash.
The victims were foreign nationals, Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar said in a Facebook post.
“I express my sincere condolences to the families,” he said.
Mr Magyar did not specify the nationality of the victims, and police did not immediately respond to reporters’ questions.
Police told news site 24.hu that all the victims were men, that the minibus had Moldovan license plates, and that the truck involved in the first accident also carried Moldovan licence plates.
