Heavy snowfall causes transport problems

The heavy overnight snowfall which continued into Friday morning has caused traffic james and delays in Czechia, particularly in the region of Moravia. Traffic ground to a halt on the D1 highway near Velká Bíteš early on Friday morning after a truck heading in the direction of Prague crashed, causing a several-kilometre-long traffic jam. The railway connection between Mosty u Jablunkova in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic and Čadca in Slovakia is not running because a tree fell on the track on the Slovak side and damaged the tracks. There are also transport and traffic problems in the Olomouc, South Moravia and Central Bohemia regions.
