Barajevo: Bus, Motorcycle Collide on Nova Street
A motorcyclist and a bus passenger were seriously injured when a city bus and a motorcycle collided on Nova Street in Barajevo, the Interior Ministry said. Traffic is slowed as police work the scene.
A city bus and a motorcycle collided this morning in Barajevo, on Thursday, August 27. The motorcyclist and a person who was riding in the bus at the moment of the crash were both injured and taken to the Emergency Center.
The Ministry of Interior told Tanjug that the accident happened around 6:40 a.m. on Nova Street. Some outlets, citing Telegraf, report a different time, around 7 a.m., and a precise address, Nova Street number 27.
MUP told Tanjug:
“Two people were injured, the motorcyclist and one bus passenger.”
According to information carried by Pink, the injuries are more serious than the Interior Ministry’s first statement suggested, and the person from the bus is, per that account, a woman, not a man:
“In the accident, the motorcycle rider and a female passenger from the bus sustained life-threatening and serious bodily injuries.”
Ambulance crews arrived quickly at the scene and gave first aid to the injured before taking them to the Emergency Center for further diagnosis and treatment.
Police were on the ground carrying out an on-site investigation to establish the exact circumstances and cause of the collision. Traffic in that part of Barajevo was moving slowly and with difficulty, and drivers were advised to use alternative routes until the scene is cleared.
No official information has been released about the identities or ages of the injured beyond the fact that they are the motorcycle rider and a bus passenger. The cause of the crash has not been officially determined, and the answer depends on the findings of the on-site investigation and any expert analysis that the Interior Ministry and the prosecution have yet to release.
