Heavy snowfall disrupts traffic across Czechia, D1 worst hit

Heavy snowfall is complicating traffic across Czechia, with the situation particularly serious on the key D1 motorway in the Vysočina region. During the night and in the early morning hours on Tuesday, the motorway was completely blocked in both directions between kilometres 88 and 115 after several accidents and stranded lorries obstructed the road. Police urged drivers not to enter the D1 near Humpolec or Jihlava and advised postponing journeys if possible. Although traffic began moving slowly after dawn, the motorway remains difficult to pass. More than ten centimetres of snow fell in some areas overnight, and road crews reported around 200 call-outs.
