Hungary bus crash that killed 12 raises questions about EU driver-tiredness rules

Twelve people died when a bus from Serbia to Poland overturned on Hungary's M3 motorway on 16 August 2026. Police detained the driver; early reports say he fell asleep. The 700-plus-kilometre trip crossed several EU countries, raising concerns that rules limiting how long drivers can work — and devices that track those hours — go unenforced when buses cross borders.
