Kneza Viseslava: car hits girl, 12, at crosswalk

A 12-year-old girl was hit by a car at a pedestrian crossing on Kneza Viseslava Street in Belgrade on Thursday, October 29, around 9 a.m. The child was conscious when she was taken to the University Children’s Hospital on Tirsova Street. As of publication, police have not released a statement about the crash.

What is known about the Kneza Viseslava crash?

The first details came from the media, and none of it is official. Politika carried a report from the Tanjug agency saying the girl was injured around 9 a.m. Newsmax Balkans says it learned of the crash unofficially, and Nova.rs says it is learning about the accident, without naming a source.

Here is what can be pieced together from those reports:

• the crash happened on October 29, 2026, around 9 a.m.
• the location is a pedestrian crossing on Kneza Viseslava Street
• the injured person is a 12-year-old girl, hit by a car
• the child was conscious when she was taken to Tirsova
• the driver stayed at the scene, according to Newsmax Balkans

Police have not confirmed that the driver stayed, because there is no statement.

Where exactly did the crash happen, and which way was the car going?

The reports do not agree on everything, so it is better to note the differences than to quietly smooth them over. Nova.rs writes that the crash happened at the crossing on Kneza Viseslava Street near the Faculty of Forestry. Politika and Newsmax Balkans describe the location only as Kneza Viseslava Street, with no further detail.

Nova.rs also adds a detail the other sources do not mention. According to that outlet’s first, unofficial information, the vehicle was traveling in the opposite direction. No other source confirms this, so until it is officially confirmed the claim can only be repeated as unofficial.

What is still unknown?

None of the three sources we reviewed gives the make of the vehicle or the driver’s age. They also do not say what injuries the girl suffered, beyond the fact that she was conscious when taken to the hospital. There is no information on her condition after examination.

The most important question is also still open: how the crash happened. The circumstances are for the competent police to establish. Until they do and publish their findings, any attribution of blame to the driver or the child has no support in the available information.
