Backo Gradiste Crash Kills Young Woman Born in 2006
A two-vehicle crash on the road between Becej and Backo Gradiste happened around 6 p.m. on October 16. No cause has been given, and sources differ on the number injured.
A young woman born in 2006 died on Friday, October 16, at about 6 p.m. in a traffic accident on the road between Becej and Backo Gradiste, near the fish ponds. Two vehicles were involved, and police have issued no official statement on the cause or the consequences.
What is known about the Backo Gradiste crash?
According to unofficial information from the portal Moj Becej, two passenger cars were involved and both left the roadway after the collision. Newsmax Balkans, also citing unofficial information, describes a somewhat different sequence: one vehicle hit the other from behind, and only the vehicle that was struck then left the road.
Webinfo reports that the young woman died at the scene. Police, firefighters and ambulance crews were on site. Traffic on the stretch moved slowly, and Moj Becej says a line of vehicles built up.
The cause of the crash has not been announced. Webinfo and Mondo both say the circumstances are unknown.
Where exactly did it happen?
Sources also disagree on the direction. Telegraf, Kurir and Informer, citing the Instagram page 192_rs, report that the crash happened on the way out of Backo Gradiste toward Becej. Newsmax Balkans writes that it was on the way out of Becej toward Backo Gradiste. Newsmax does not mention the fish ponds, while the other outlets give them as a landmark.
How many people were injured, and who was the victim?
The reports on the number of injured do not match:
- 192_rs, followed by Telegraf, Kurir, Informer and Mondo, says two people were seriously injured
- Newsmax Balkans says two people were injured, without describing the injuries
- Webinfo says three people were hurt: one was taken to Novi Sad with serious injuries, while two had minor injuries, received treatment and were sent for further examinations
The victim’s identity has not been officially confirmed. Moj Becej unofficially gives the initials K. T. and says she was from Becej, while Webinfo states explicitly that her identity has not yet been officially confirmed. At the time of publication, Mondo had no information on either the victim or the injured.
What has happened on this road before?
Webinfo notes that this is not the first serious crash on this stretch:
- April 6, 2025: three people died and three were injured in a head-on collision of two cars near the fish ponds
- March 25 this year: a driver suffered life-threatening injuries on the same section of road
- November 2023: one person died in a collision at the entrance to Backo Gradiste
- October 2024: a car and a truck collided near the bridge
Police have not said what led to the collision, who was driving the vehicles or what condition the injured are in. Until they do, all that remains is what local portals are passing on unofficially: that a young woman born in 2006 died, that at least two more people were injured, and that the crash site is near the fish ponds on the road between Becej and Backo Gradiste.
