Two cars collided today, October 25, shortly before 11 a.m. on Sentandrejski Road in Novi Sad. Firefighters freed an injured person from one of the vehicles and handed them to an ambulance crew.

What is known about the Sentandrejski Road crash?

Two passenger cars were involved, an Opel and a Fiat Punto, according to Kurir. The front of the Punto was destroyed, while the Opel was damaged on the driver’s side. The reports do not say where along Sentandrejski Road the collision happened, or whether it was at an intersection.

The Instagram account 193_ns published details of the response along with a photo from the scene, and the same information reached Kurir, NS Uzivo, Dnevnik and the portal 24sedam. In the sources we reviewed, there is no statement from the police or the ambulance service about the crash.

How did the rescue unfold?

An ambulance and members of a firefighting and rescue unit, who arrived with a technical rescue vehicle, went to the scene. According to NS Uzivo, the injured person was freed from one of the cars with rescue tools and handed to the ambulance crew. Kurir reports that the person was pulled from the Opel, while the other sources say only that it was one of the two cars.

The reports mention one injured person. It has not been published whether this was the driver or a passenger, how old they are, or which medical facility they were taken to.

What is still unknown?

The cause of the crash is not known for now, and 24sedam stresses that the circumstances of the accident remain unclear. Traffic police carried out an on-site investigation, and traffic on that stretch of road was slowed, NS Uzivo reports. Kurir says how the collision happened will be established only after the investigation and expert analysis.

The condition of the injured person has not been officially announced. None of the sources we reviewed mentions a fatality. Dnevnik uses the phrase “the body of the injured” in its headline, but the text of the same story says only that one person was pulled from a car. For that reason, the severity of the injuries cannot be attributed to anyone until the authorities publish it.

The circumstances of the crash and the condition of the injured person remain open until the police or health services release them.
