BUDAPEST, Hungary \u2014 A deadly sequence of highway accidents in western Hungary claimed eight lives during the early morning hours on Friday, according to law enforcement officials.<\/p>

The first incident occurred around 4:30 a.m. when a truck crashed into construction equipment near Gy\u0151r, resulting in one fatality and causing the truck to burst into flames. The accident created significant traffic delays on the roadway.<\/p>

Approximately 30 minutes following the initial crash, a minibus bearing Moldovan license plates crashed into a truck that had come to a stop on the highway due to the earlier incident. This second collision resulted in seven deaths and left two people with severe injuries, authorities reported.<\/p>

Officials shut down one lane of the M1 highway heading toward Austria following the accidents.<\/p>

Hungarian Prime Minister P\u00e9ter Magyar offered his sympathies to the families affected by the tragic incidents.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
