According to the publication, the accident occurred at about 23:30 on January 18 on the highway No. 812 in the Wisznice Commune, Bielsk County, Lublin Voivodeship.

As the Main Department of Municipal Police in Biała Podlaska told reporters, it has been preliminarily established that due to difficult weather conditions, the bus skidded on a curve and the 63-year-old driver of the bus, which was carrying 26 Ukrainian citizens, lost control of the vehicle. A police examination showed that he was completely sober.

"The driver drove to the side of the road and hit a guardrail. After that, the bus rolled over on its side and hit a tree," the newspaper quoted a police statement as saying.

According to police, there were victims of the accident. Three people were hospitalized, including an 80-year-old man who was injured.

According to him, two people were injured, not three.

"As a result of the accident, two Ukrainians suffered minor injuries. There are no threats to their lives. They are being provided with the necessary medical care. The rest of the passengers are being accommodated in a temporary waiting area. The carrier has already provided another bus that will take our citizens to Ukraine," Nikolenko said.

He added that Ukrainian diplomats are in touch with Polish law enforcement officers, who have launched an investigation into the circumstances of the accident, and are monitoring the treatment of the injured people.
