Increase in accidents due to snowfall

Road conditions worsen in Czechia due to snowfall. This was particular the case fron in the South Moravian Region. Road workers in some areas are warning of freezing precipitation. There has also been a rise in accidents, with the police reporting around 15 so far. In Brno, some public transport services have also been delayed due to the weather.

The police noted that the number of accidents began to increase in the afternoon. According to the Police Traffic Information Center, around 15 incidents have been recorded on Sunday.

The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute (ČHMÚ) has forecast that the snowfall will turn into freezing rain, leading to thick ice formation, which could further disrupt transportation and impact the energy supply.
