A serious accident happened in central Budapest when a bus and a car crashed at Astoria, leaving a woman with life-threatening injuries. Several other people were also hurt and taken to hospital. Police are looking into what caused the crash.
Hungarian fighter jets took off after a man stole a small plane and flew toward the Paks nuclear plant. The pilot was forced to eject and is now in the hospital. Police have also started checking the airport in Kalocsa, where the Cessna was stolen from. In other news, Tiszalök's hydropower plant had to stop working because the River Tisza is so dry, and the first stage of the new Danube riverbank at Paks was finished.
A new flyover in Budapest is now open, which should make driving in the city much easier. Also, Hungary is getting ready to remember the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Mohács with new coins and a big event featuring 500 tent spots for people in traditional clothes.
