Vratarnica crash kills woman, 30; three seriously hurt
A Peugeot left the Zajecar-Knjazevac road and overturned. The woman who died was from Veliki Jasenovac, and three people with serious injuries are being treated in Zajecar.
A woman of about 30 from Veliki Jasenovac died in a traffic accident on October 31 at the exit from the village of Vratarnica, heading toward Knjazevac on the Zajecar-Knjazevac road. Three people were seriously injured and taken to the Zajecar Health Center.
What happened near Vratarnica?
According to information relayed by Tanjug, one vehicle was involved. It was a Peugeot passenger car. For reasons that have not yet been established, the car left the road and overturned.
Telegraf reports that the crash happened early in the morning. None of the sources we read gives the exact hour.
Footage from the scene was posted by Radio Magnum on its Instagram account. Media outlets that picked up the post report that the car was completely crushed and unrecognizable from the force of the impact.
What is known about the victim and the injured?
The woman who died was about 30 years old and came from Veliki Jasenovac. Neither her name nor her initials have been released, so we do not give them.
Novosti writes that other people were also in the vehicle, and three of them suffered serious injuries. They were taken to the Health Center in Zajecar, where they received medical care. The sex and age of the injured have not been released.
The sources we read do not say how many passengers were in the car in total or who was driving.
Who is establishing the circumstances of the crash?
An on-site investigation was carried out on the order of the Zajecar Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office, Novosti reports, and police are establishing all the facts and circumstances of the accident. The sources do not say who exactly led the investigation.
The inquiry is to determine what made the car leave the road and overturn. There is no official confirmation of the cause so far.
Informer reports that Radio Magnum also published that the circumstances of the crash are being established on the order of the same prosecutor’s office. That matches what Novosti and Republika report.
What do the sources not say?
No source says what condition the road surface was in, what the weather was like on that stretch, or whether traffic on the Zajecar-Knjazevac road was halted.
For that reason, the cause of the car leaving the road cannot be discussed until the competent authorities establish it. Until then, only what has been confirmed is known: one car, one woman dead and three people seriously injured.
