Zemun and Zvezdara: Two Motorcyclists Injured Overnight
Four traffic accidents overnight in Belgrade left two motorcyclists slightly injured, while a driver in Zvezdara struck another vehicle after reportedly taking pills.
Belgrade recorded four traffic accidents overnight between September 2 and 3, involving motorcyclists and passenger vehicles. The crashes happened at four separate locations: in Zemun, twice in Zvezdara, and in Bezanijska Kosa. Two of the accidents left motorcyclists with minor injuries; both were taken to on-duty medical facilities, Emergency Services confirmed.
Crash in Zemun sends teenager to Tirsova
The first accident happened on Pukovnika Milenka Pavlovica Street in Zemun in the early evening. The motorcycle was being ridden by a seventeen-year-old, who was slightly injured in the collision and taken to the Tirsova Children’s Hospital, where minors are treated. Sources differ slightly on the exact timing: Tanjug and B92 report the crash occurred at 9:11 p.m., while Kurir puts it at 9:10 p.m. The gap is minor, but worth noting since the reports do not agree down to the minute.
Two crashes in Zvezdara, one driver reportedly on pills
Zvezdara saw two separate accidents that night. The first happened at the corner of Pljevaljska Street and Velizara Kosanovica Street at 10:12 p.m., slightly injuring another motorcyclist, who was taken to the Military Medical Academy.
The second Zvezdara accident happened much later, after midnight, at 1:04 a.m., on Jovana Cirilova Street. A man who, according to Emergency Services, was driving under the influence of pills struck another vehicle. He too was taken to the Military Medical Academy. Whether the medication was prescribed or misused is not stated in the Emergency Services report, and no further details on what the driver had taken have surfaced since.
Bezanijska Kosa, woman treated at the scene
The fourth accident, chronologically the first of the evening, happened on Vojvodjanska Street in Bezanijska Kosa at 8:06 p.m. The woman involved sustained injuries that did not require hospital transport, so she was treated at the scene by the Emergency Services crew that responded.
The full night: 125 Emergency Services callouts
Belgrade’s Emergency Services handled 125 callouts over the course of the night, 21 of them in public places. Kurir cites a figure of 127 callouts in one part of its report, before stating the same figure of 125 as Tanjug and B92 later in the same piece.
Emergency Services said residents most often called about chronic illnesses, while among the public-place callouts, the largest share involved people who were intoxicated. The traffic accidents, then, were only part of a broader overnight picture, in which calls for chronic patients and for intoxicated people in public spaces outnumbered calls for road crashes.
Belgrade media reported on the night’s tally in the early morning hours of September 3. Tanjug published its report at 6:15 a.m., B92 at 6:55 a.m., and Kurir at 7:57 a.m. This is the first such overnight traffic summary carried here, as similar aggregate Emergency Services reports have not previously been covered.
As of publication, no further details had been released on the injured parties’ condition, nor on any possible proceedings against the driver reported to have been on pills. The relevant authorities typically issue updates only if the status of an investigation changes or if injuries are later assessed as more serious.
