A motorcycle and a passenger car collided on Tuesday, June 2, on the main Tutin-Ribarice road, in the village of Batrage. The motorcyclist, a woman, was seriously injured in the crash and was rushed to the Novi Pazar Health Center, where she received medical care.
According to the first information from the scene, the motorcycle was left overturned on the road after the impact, while the passenger car sustained significant damage. The identities of those involved have not been released.
What is known about the crash
The collision happened on the stretch that links Tutin and Ribarice, in the settlement of Batrage. Available information indicates that two vehicles were involved: the motorcycle ridden by the injured woman and a passenger car.
The consequences of the crash were visible on the road surface itself:
- the motorcycle was left overturned on the roadway after the impact,
- the passenger car sustained significant material damage,
- the motorcyclist was taken to hospital in Novi Pazar with serious injuries.
This main road is an important route for residents of the Tutin municipality and surrounding villages, so any closure quickly creates congestion in both directions.
Why was traffic halted?
Because of the police investigation, traffic on the stretch was fully halted. Vehicles were stopped in both directions, and queues soon formed while the responding team worked at the scene.
During an on-site investigation in cases like this, police establish the position of the vehicles, the marks on the road surface and other circumstances relevant to reconstructing the event. Only once that data is processed can anyone speak with certainty about how the collision happened.
For that reason, the exact cause of the crash is not yet known. It will be established only after the police investigation is complete, and until then any claim about fault or the sequence of events remains speculation.
Drivers using the Tutin-Ribarice route in the coming days are advised to take extra care, especially in areas with reduced visibility. Stretches of main roads that mix cars, trucks and motorcycles are among those where even a small error of judgment can have serious consequences.
After accidents like this, will there be more checks on speed and on the visibility of critical stretches on local main roads?
