Man dies following collision on D5 motorway

A man has died following a crash between two heavy goods lorries on the D5 motorway to Pilsen late on Friday night. The forty-five year old driver of one of the trucks died after crashing into the back of another lorry which had braked to avoid hitting a stationary car. The drivers of the other vehicles were treated for shock and light injuries. The D5 motorway was closed for several hours on Saturday morning to allow for clearing operations.
