A Lux Express bus traveling from Tallinn to Pärnu was involved in a serious traffic accident on Monday (July 28), injuring approximately 30 people, the police said.
Rait Pikaro, operations chief at the Northern Prefecture, told ERR that the report of the traffic accident on the Tallinn-Pärnu-Ikla highway near Saue reached the police at 1:15 p.m.
“According to initial information, a Lux Express bus full of passengers crashed into a truck that had stopped on the roadside. There may have been up to 50 people on board. Preliminary information suggests there could be up to 30 injured. At this point, we understand that there are no critically injured,” he said.
However, the official added that many people were still taken to the hospital for examination or treatment, and there are likely some fractures.
“Initial reports indicate that no one was trapped in the bus and supposedly everyone got out on their own. But the exact severity of the injuries is still being determined. I believe there may indeed be some fractures. But as far as we know, no one is seriously injured,” Pikaroe said.
