A crash near Ostruznica has killed Igor D. (48), the driver of a Nissan Qashqai. The collision involving three vehicles happened on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at around 8:40 a.m. on Obrenovac Road, on the stretch between Ostruznica and Umka. Emergency medical crews reached the scene but could only confirm his death.
Two passenger cars, a Nissan Qashqai and an Opel Crossland, and one more vehicle were involved. Telegraf, Kurir and Mondo report that the third vehicle was a truck, while Press says it was a van. Which of the two accounts is correct has not been confirmed so far. There is no information about the driver of the third vehicle, so it is not known whether he was injured.
How did the crash happen?
The cause has not been officially determined, and Alo reports that it will be known only after the on-site investigation. Press is the only outlet that describes the sequence of events. In its version, the Nissan suddenly swerved into the left lane and hit the oncoming Opel head-on. A van traveling behind the Opel then ran into it.
The other outlets do not describe the sequence. They say only that the collision happened for reasons that are not yet known. Kurir reports an unofficial suspicion of inappropriate speed, adding that the investigation will determine whether it was actually decisive.
What is known about the injured driver?
The Opel driver, Marko R. (40), was taken to the Emergency Center. Sources differ on how serious his injuries are. Kurir, without naming him, writes that the driver (40) is seriously injured. Telegraf and Mondo, by contrast, say the extent of Marko R.’s injuries is not known. No confirmation that would settle the discrepancy has been published so far.
Traffic and the investigation
Photos from the scene show that both passenger cars were almost completely destroyed at the front. Glass and vehicle parts were left on the road.
Traffic on the stretch was fully halted. Queues formed, and drivers were advised to use alternative routes until the on-site investigation ended. Emergency services and police arrived at the scene, and the police carried out the investigation. An inquiry into the circumstances of the crash, which should also establish the role of speed, is under way.
The first reports came in before noon. Alo, citing Blic, reported at 9:36 a.m. that traffic had been halted, with no confirmed information on casualties. Telegraf reported at 10:07 a.m. that there were fatalities, and published details on the victim’s identity only at 1:47 p.m.
