Snow and rain cause traffic complications

Snow and rain caused traffic complications in most parts of Czechia on Friday. Snowfalls caused trucks to get stuck between the town of Vimperk and the German border in South Bohemia. Forecasters said more snow was expected to fall in the region until Saturday morning, when the situation should settle down.

South Moravia had recorded almost 30mm of rain in 24 hours on Friday morning, novinky.cz reported. Police said the number of accidents was higher than usual and called on motorists to drive slowly.
