Sarajevo: After months of investigation, accused driver of "death tram"A driver of Sarajevo's 'tram of death' has been indicted after a multi-month investigation into a tragic accident in February. The incident occurred on February 12th when the tram, operated by Adnan Kasapović, skidded off the tracks at a junction and killed 23-year-old Erdönnan Morankić, a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo. A 16-year-old girl, Ella Jovanović, was severely injured and required the amputation of her leg, though she survived and later regained mobility with a prosthetic. The tragedy sparked widespread protests among students and teachers in Sarajevo lasting weeks, ultimately leading to the resignation of the regional administration. The indictment against Kasapović followed an extensive investigation with numerous pieces of evidence and expert analyses. The indictment has been sent to the Sarajevo District Court for confirmation. Following the accident, the city transportation company GRAS removed all Czech-made ČKD trams from service, including the one involved in the crash. Some of these trams were over 40 years old and had been in use until the renewal of the fleet with new trams purchased from Swiss manufacturer Stadler.
