Speeding Driver Collides With Delivery Van, Knocks Over Streetlight on Pyhäjärventie

A speeding private car heading toward Nokia collided with a delivery van and knocked over a streetlight on Pyhäjärventie in Pirkkala on Tuesday evening, causing a three-vehicle crash, Tamperelainen reported.

The Pirkanmaa Rescue Department said the speeding vehicle rear-ended the delivery van, which was thrown onto the verge. Two private cars and one delivery van were involved. Five people were at the scene. Three were reported uninjured; the condition of two others remained unknown because they had left before emergency services arrived.

Emergency crews briefly closed the ramp to Lentoasemantie. Traffic was routed past the crash on a single lane, causing minor delays. By just before 8 p.m., traffic was flowing normally again.

Four rescue department units attended. One vehicle awaited towing while authorities wrapped up on-site operations. An update at 19:50 confirmed the situation.

The stretch of Pyhäjärventie has seen several collisions recently, including a three-car crash earlier in the month and an October crash that hospitalised a van driver.
