Fundraiser for baby orphaned by speeding driver in Polish city reaches 1 million zloty
The accident has brought anger and calls for action from residents and local politicians.
A fundraising campaign for an eight-month-old baby orphaned in a tragic car accident in Kraków, Poland has surpassed 1 million zloty (€231,000). The incident occurred on August 22 when a speeding driver, Hubert B., hit the baby and his parents, Mateusz and Klaudia, both 32, while they were walking on Solna Street. Despite sustaining severe injuries, the infant survived and is currently hospitalized with his condition showing signs of improvement.
The fundraiser, which was established last week, has received over 23,300 donations from the community. Oliwier's grandfather, Andrzej, expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and consented to the fundraising efforts. Local authorities have launched an investigation into the dangerous driving conditions leading to the tragedy, with some residents demanding stricter measures to prevent such incidents from occurring again in the future.
