Bratislava police are investigating a serious traffic accident that occurred late Tuesday night on Cesta na Kamzík, a road leading towards the city center in the Nové Mesto district. The incident involved a single vehicle colliding with a tree, resulting in injuries to all five occupants.

According to preliminary reports from Michal Szeiff, the regional police spokesperson for Bratislava, the driver, an 18-year-old woman, is suspected of driving at a speed inappropriate for her abilities and the road conditions. The vehicle reportedly struck a tree with significant force.

Emergency services responded to the scene, and all five individuals inside the car were transported to various hospitals. The extent of their injuries varies, but all required medical attention following the crash.

Authorities are continuing their investigation into the exact cause of the accident, focusing on the driver's speed and adherence to traffic regulations on the winding road.

Podľa doterajších informácií 18-ročná vodička pravdepodobne neprispôsobila jazdu svojich schopnostiam, stavu a povahe vozovky a vo vysokej rýchlosti narazila do stromu.
