Traffic between Prague and Brno resumes

Traffic on a motorway connecting Prague and Brno resumed on Friday morning following a massive pile-up caused by a snowstorm a day earlier. A total of 116 cars crashed on Thursday in what was the biggest chain accident in the country’s history. Some 20, 000 people got stuck along the motorway in both directions; 40 km of the road had to be closed down. 30 people, including ten foreigners, were injured in the accident. Bad weather continues to complicate traffic across the country.
