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.
