Two Injured as Fiat Hits Guardrail on Cacak Bypass
The driver of a Fiat reportedly lost control and hit a guardrail in Parmenac. Two people were pulled from the car and taken to the hospital in Cacak.
Two people were injured in a traffic accident on Saturday afternoon on the bypass around Cacak, in the village of Parmenac. The driver of a Fiat passenger car reportedly lost control of the vehicle and hit a guardrail.
What is known about the crash near Parmenac?
Only one vehicle is mentioned in the account of the crash, a Fiat passenger car. The news agency RINA first reported the incident and supplied photographs from the scene.
The cause of the loss of control has not been established. The exact circumstances are unclear, and it has not been disclosed how old the injured are, what condition they are in or who they are.
What remains unknown comes down to a few points:
- why the driver lost control of the car
- the age, identity and condition of the two injured people
- the exact time of the crash
- when traffic on the bypass was reopened
How were the injured pulled from the car?
An unnamed eyewitness described the impact to RINA. According to the witness, the car was badly damaged and firefighters reacted quickly:
“The whole right side of the car is pushed in. Firefighters arrived quickly and responded, and the injured were pulled from the vehicle. Both injured people were taken by ambulance to the hospital in Cacak.”
The sequence, then, was this: firefighters freed the injured from the car, and an ambulance took them to the hospital in Cacak. The witness did not say what condition either person was in, and the hospital has not commented in the available reports.
Traffic on the bypass was halted
While the injured were being rescued and the crash was being investigated, traffic on this stretch of the Cacak bypass was stopped. It has not been reported how long the stoppage lasted.
Where and when exactly did the crash happen?
Reports of the crash differ on two details. The first is timing: one report says the crash happened “this afternoon,” while another says it happened “yesterday during the afternoon hours.” Neither gives an exact time.
The second detail is the location. In its headline, Kurir places the crash in the Ovcar-Kablar Gorge, but the body of the same report says it happened on the bypass around Cacak, in Parmenac. Another report names the same place, so that location is used here.
For that reason, the crash site given here is the one from the body of the report, the Cacak bypass near Parmenac, and not the name in the headline.
