The horror crash took place early Saturday on the stretch of motorway heading toward the coastal city of Gdynia.
Cops confirmed that children were tragically among the victims, Polskie Radio reports.
The lorry driver, a 37-year-old man, was immediately arrested, according to the Polish outlet.
Karol Kościuk, a spokesman for the Pruszcz Gdański district police station, said preliminary findings indicate that the driver may have rear-ended another car, causing the fatal pile-up.
Adding the investigation is ongoing, Kościuk said: “The truck driver was tested for sobriety and was found to be sober.
“His blood has been taken for further toxicological analysis.”
While police continue their work at the scene, the impacted part of the S7 is still off-limits to traffic.
Authorities have warned that this disruption may linger until lunchtime local time.
