BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Two collisions one after another on a highway in western Hungary early Friday killed eight people, police said.
A truck caught fire after colliding with a construction vehicle near the city of Győr around 4.30 a.m., killing one person and snarling traffic, police said.
About half an hour later, a minibus with Moldovan license plates slammed into a truck that stopped on the highway following the first accident. The second crash killed seven people and seriously injured two, police said.
Authorities closed one lane of the M1 highway toward Austria.
Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar expressed condolences to the families of the victims.

TORONTO (AP) — Six-time All-Star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. left the Toronto Blue Jays' 3-1 victory over the Yankees on Friday night after colliding with New York rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. on a chaotic play at third base.
With Guerrero at first and Nathan Lukes at second in the sixth inning and the Blue Jays trailing 1-0, George Springer hit a grounder to third baseman Ryan McMahon, who stepped on the bag to force out Lukes.
McMahon threw to first in a bid to retire Springer, but New York first baseman Luis García Jr. couldn’t scoop the throw, losing his glove in the process. Guerrero broke for third and García threw toward Lombard, who was trying to get to the bag. When Lombard tried to leap over the sliding Guerrero, his left thigh struck Guerrero’s head.
Guerrero’s helmet was dislodged. He got up and ran home to score the tying run, but looked dazed after crossing the plate.
Charles McAdoo replaced Guerrero at first base in the top of the seventh.
Guerrero is batting .263 with seven homers and 46 RBIs.
