Mohelnice crash in Czechia: driver of yellow car flees the scene

On Sunday afternoon two cars collided near Mohelnice, and the driver of one of them left the scene. According to police, one passenger was injured and, after receiving first aid at the scene, was taken to hospital in Šumperk.

Police spokeswoman Miluše Zajícová said on Tuesday that the young Renault driver was changing from the right lane to the left near a petrol station and did not notice a yellow car passing there. He cut across its path, and the vehicles collided.

The yellow car stopped a few metres from the point of impact but after a while drove off in an unknown direction: the driver did not get out and did not report the accident in any way. Besides the driver, the Renault carried three more passengers.

The Renault driver's breath test was negative. Damage to the car was estimated at 50,000 crowns, and damage to the broken central crash barrier at about 20,000 crowns.
