The rescue service announced that the head-on collision between two regional buses occurred for still unknown reasons, in sunny weather, on a dry road between Znojmo and Brno.

"At the scene of the accident, we treated 30 people with minor injuries, nine suffered moderate and severe injuries. The rescue service activated the so-called trauma plan and informed hospitals that a large number of injured people were being brought to them," said Mihaela Botova, a spokeswoman for the local Ambulance Service.

Help was immediately offered by nearby Austria, but Czech rescuers and ambulance services assessed that 13 teams of Czech services equipped with helicopters were sufficient.
