Citroen motorhome cuts off Toyota van on Route 84 near Keléd junction

On June 25, 2026, a German-registered Citroen motorhome caused a collision with a Toyota van at the Keléd junction on Route 84. The motorhome driver, a middle-aged man, failed to stop at a stop sign and pulled onto the main road without yielding to the van approaching from the Sümeg direction. The van struck the motorhome's left rear wheel, causing it to roll into a ditch at the edge of a poppy field. The van driver, a woman, sustained minor injuries and was taken to Markusovszky Hospital in Szombathely; the couple in the motorhome and their dog were unharmed. One lane was closed during the investigation and recovery, but no major traffic jams occurred.
