A 36-year-old driver died in a collision between two cars in the Karlovy Vary region. The crash happened on a first-class road, and all integrated rescue system services rushed to the scene.

“Two cars collided. Four of our units worked at the scene, freeing the injured,” said Patrik Žižka, a spokesman for the regional firefighters. According to him, a helicopter was also sent to the site.

Simona Kratochvílová from the regional ambulance service said that paramedics performed resuscitation on the man for several tens of minutes. “Despite all efforts, the doctor pronounced him dead,” she said. Police spokesman Jakub Kopřiva added that the victim was the 36-year-old driver of one of the cars.

Medics treated a woman who suffered minor injuries; an ambulance took her to the hospital in Karlovy Vary. Police are investigating the circumstances of the crash.
