A mature tree fell at 5.45pm directly in front of a passing bus, which was carrying twenty-one passengers at the time. The bus driver had no time to brake and hit the tree. None of the passengers on the bus were injured.
The tree remained wedged under the bus and formed an obstruction on the road which had to be avoided. Officers shuttled traffic while firefighters freed the tree. Passengers boarded another regular bus that was passing by.
A breath test on the 63-year-old driver was negative. The damage to the bus was tentatively estimated by police at ten thousand crowns. Further circumstances of the accident and the degree of the driver's culpability are being investigated by traffic police.

The town of Luhačovice is planning a building closure in the area of the historic core. The measure is intended to temporarily protect architecturally valuable sites from unregulated construction until the new zoning plan comes into force. The building closure is to apply to the spa colonnade or Jurkovič Avenue towards the Luhačovice dam. In other locations, on the other hand, the city is ready to support new construction.
