Car Crashes Into Bus Stop in Borca, Two Injured

A car veered off the road this evening in Belgrade’s Borca neighborhood and slammed into a bus stop. A young man and a young woman who happened to be waiting there were injured.

According to Kurir, the crash happened around 7:24 PM. Telegraf puts the time at 7:41 PM, while Informer published its main report on the incident at 8:21 PM. The outlets disagree on the exact moment of the crash, and none of the details have been officially confirmed by police so far.

The collision happened near a post office in Borca. Telegraf reports that the man behind the wheel lost control of the car, which then veered off the road and struck the part of the bus stop where passengers were waiting for their ride.

What is known about the injuries

The young man suffered more serious injuries in the crash and was bleeding. An ambulance crew treated him at the scene. The young woman, according to information available so far, sustained lighter injuries. The exact extent of either person’s injuries has not yet been disclosed, and it is not known which hospital, if any, they were taken to for further treatment.

The car was left completely wrecked after the impact. Its make has not been released, and it is not known whether anyone besides the driver was in the vehicle at the time.

Claims about alcohol, no official confirmation

Eyewitnesses at the scene claim the driver was intoxicated. Both Informer and Kurir report this claim, citing accounts from people who were nearby at the time. Police have not officially confirmed it, and no breathalyzer results have been released as of this evening.

Until the Interior Ministry or the relevant prosecutor’s office issues a statement, the circumstances under which the driver lost control of the car remain officially unconfirmed. Whether responsibility is assigned, and to whom, will only be determined during the preliminary proceedings, once police complete their on-site investigation and, if grounds exist, file a report with the competent prosecutor’s office.

Investigation underway

Police arrived at the scene and are conducting an on-site investigation. Authorities are working to establish the exact circumstances under which the car left the road, as well as the speed it was traveling at the moment of the crash. It has not been announced whether a misdemeanor or criminal complaint has been filed against the driver.

The driver has not been identified in any of the available reports, and neither his initials nor his age have been published. Until the circumstances of the crash are clarified and any responsibility is legally established, he is referred to only as a suspect, in line with reporting standards for cases that have not yet concluded.

Borca is a neighborhood on the outskirts of Belgrade with heavy traffic along the main roads leading toward the city center and toward Pancevo. The bus stop where the crash happened is used daily for public transport, which is why people were waiting there for a bus when the car struck it.

None of the sources report how many passengers were at the stop at the time of the crash beyond the two who were injured. There is also no information on whether the stop itself sustained damage that would require it to be temporarily replaced or relocated.

No similar incident has previously been reported at this bus stop in Borca, and there is no earlier story of ours on this location. The newsroom is following the investigation and will publish new information as soon as police or the prosecutor’s office release an official statement on the circumstances of the crash and any responsibility on the driver’s part.
