An accident on the M1 in Hungary, captured on video / Visibility deteriorated sharply after a dust storm

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

On Saturday, Budapest set a wind power record, which reached a speed of 117 km/h on János Hill. According to the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale, at a wind speed of 119 km/h, we can talk about a category 1 hurricane, so Saturday’s record in Budapest was very close to this strength.

The accident on the M1 was recorded by a video camera on board a truck that was driving in the first lane of the highway. The images show how visibility suddenly deteriorates due to the sounds of a sandstorm, and vehicles crash into each other.
