In Brief

On 30 April in Wiele (Pomerania) a camper exploded; a woman escaped. Earlier, on 18 March in Ustka, a woman died in a camper fire and a man was hospitalised.

Fire in Wiele (30 April)

On 30 April in the town of Wiele (Pomerania), on the grounds of a holiday resort, a camper caught fire accompanied by a powerful explosion. A 62-year-old woman inside smelled smoke and managed to leave the vehicle before the blast. Firefighters from the volunteer fire brigade OSP Wiele extinguished the blaze for over three hours, fearing the fire would spread to the forest and nearby cabins. The camper was completely destroyed; damage estimated at 60 thousand zlotys. Preliminary cause: a gas system malfunction after connecting a new cylinder.

Fire in Ustka (18 March)

On Tuesday evening in Ustka, a camper caught fire. Firefighters found a woman's body inside; a burned man was taken to hospital in Slupsk. Witnesses report a possible gas cylinder explosion, but the official cause is under investigation.

Poland abolishes e-TOLL road toll for passenger cars with trailers from September 21, 2026

Polish President Karol Nawrocki signed an amendment to the Public Roads Act, exempting passenger cars with trailers from registration in the e-TOLL system and payment of road tolls. The change takes effect on September 21, 2026. Previously, the toll applied if the combined permissible mass of the vehicle combination exceeded 3.5 tonnes. Now the decisive factor is the permissible mass of the towing vehicle: if it is up to 3.5 tonnes, no toll is charged regardless of the trailer's mass. The fine of 500 zloty for such vehicles is abolished, and pending administrative proceedings are discontinued. Funds on e-TOLL prepaid accounts can be refunded upon request within six months. The change does not affect toll sections of the A1, A2 and A4 motorways.
