The accident on the M1 in Hungary, captured on video / Visibility drastically reduced following the dust storm

The accident took place on the M1 highway in Hungary due to a dust storm that suddenly reduced visibility.

On Saturday, Budapest registered a record in terms of wind power, which reached a gust of 117 km/h on Janos Hill. On the Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricanes, at a wind speed of 119 km/h one can talk about a category 1 hurricane, therefore the record on Saturday in Budapest was very close to this force.

The accident on the M1 was captured by a video camera on board a lorry traveling on the first lane of the motorway. The images show how the visibility drops suddenly due to the sandstorm, and the vehicles collide violently with each other.

Careful! Dramatic pictures!
