One was buried by the wrong direction, the other by the speed: after a violent collision, they fight for their lives

Na kolesarski stezi ob Zaloški cesti v Ljubljani je danes, 30. julija 2026, po polnoči zasledili prometno nesrečo, v kateri sta bila udeležena dva voznika na e-skirojih. Voznik enega e-skiroja je vozil v napačni smeri in je trčil v drugo e-skiro, kar je povzročilo telesne poškodbe. Povzročitelj je bil odpeljan v ubojno bolnico, njegovo življenje pa je ogroženo. Tretji udeleženec, potnik, je bil lažje poškodovan. Policiji je še vedno predstavljeno zbiranje podatkov o okoliščinah nesreče. Včeraj, okoli 10.30, je v Kočevju zgodila prometna nesreča, kjer je sam voznik e-kolesa zaradi neprilagojene hitrosti padel in se huje poškodoval. Tudi njega so odpeljali v ubojno bolnico, policiji pa vodi prekrškovni postopek.

A tragic accident involving an electric scooter has claimed the life of a 39-year-old motorist in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The incident occurred late Thursday night on a cycling path near Zaloška Street, according to reports from the Ljubljana Police Department. The victim, a Slovenian citizen, was severely injured in the collision and later died in the hospital on Saturday due to complications from his injuries. The police continue to gather information and investigate all circumstances surrounding the crash. The collision took place shortly after midnight when one driver of an electric scooter was traveling in the wrong direction and collided with another rider coming from the opposite side. Both riders were seriously hurt, though the severity of their injuries varied. The deceased, who was operating the scooter, suffered critical injuries and was transported to the University Clinical Center of Ljubljana. His condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to his death in the hospital. The other cyclist, along with a passenger, sustained less severe injuries and were treated at the scene before being released. Police have confirmed that the primary causes of such accidents often include inappropriate speed and failure to follow traffic rules. They emphasize that electric scooters, while convenient and increasingly common on Slovenian roads, can lead to serious consequences even from minor mistakes. In this case, the fatal outcome underscores the dangers associated with reckless driving and lack of adherence to safety protocols. Authorities have reiterated the importance of adjusting speed based on individual capabilities, road conditions, and traffic density. Riders are advised to stick to designated cycling paths or areas where such vehicles are permitted and to strictly observe traffic regulations. Special attention should be given to pedestrians and other vulnerable road users. The police also recommend wearing protective helmets, which, although legally required only for minors under 18, are strongly encouraged for all riders. Head injuries are among the most frequent and severe consequences of falls from electric scooters, and helmets can significantly reduce the risk of fatal outcomes. In addition to helmet use, police warn against using mobile phones or earphones during rides, as these devices impair situational awareness. Electric scooters must be in good working condition, and they should carry only one person to maintain control. These precautions aim to prevent similar incidents and ensure safer riding practices. Another related incident occurred earlier in the week in Kocje, where a motorist of an electric bike lost control due to excessive speed and crashed, suffering serious injuries. He was taken to the same hospital, where his condition remains critical. A formal investigation into this incident is ongoing, highlighting the broader issue of unsafe riding behaviors and the need for stricter enforcement of traffic laws. The police have issued a statement emphasizing that there is no room for complacency when it comes to riding electric scooters. As these vehicles become more prevalent, the responsibility of drivers increases accordingly. They urge all cyclists to remain vigilant, respect traffic rules, and prioritize safety above convenience. With these measures, the hope is to minimize future tragedies and promote a culture of responsible transportation.
