A serious accident at Postojna: the driver collided with a 59-year-old pedestrian, who suffered serious injuries

A serious traffic accident occurred yesterday at 7:23 PM near Hrašč, involving a 31-year-old driver and a 59-year-old pedestrian. The driver was traveling from Razdrto towards Postojna when they collided with the pedestrian, who had stepped onto the road intending to cross a regional highway. The pedestrian suffered severe head and leg injuries and was taken to the hospital for treatment. Local police have conducted an inspection of the accident site and are continuing their investigation into the incident. They suspect the driver may have caused the accident due to negligence under Article 323 of the Penal Code. Police are reminding both drivers and pedestrians to exercise caution, emphasizing the dangers of crossing roads outside designated crossings, especially in poorly lit areas where drivers might not expect pedestrians. Pedestrians are advised to use marked crossings, check for vehicles before stepping onto the road, and ensure visibility in low-light conditions. Drivers are urged to adjust their speed according to road conditions, avoid driving under the influence of alcohol or other substances, and refrain from using mobile phones while driving.

A 42-year-old Bulgarian man died at the scene of a traffic accident on Saturday afternoon after a van he was riding in overturned near the settlement of Nomenj in Slovenia. Police were notified of the severe collision shortly before 4:00 p.m. on the road connecting Bled and Bohinj. The victim sustained fatal injuries during the crash, while the driver survived with minor wounds. Authorities have opened criminal proceedings against the driver for offenses related to public traffic safety. The incident occurred outside the village of Nomenj, specifically within a left-hand blind curve. According to the Kranj police administration, the 38-year-old driver, who is a Bulgarian citizen residing in Slovenia, was traveling from the direction of Bled toward Bohinj. Investigators determined that the driver failed to adjust his speed to the conditions, causing him to cross into the opposing lane. The vehicle subsequently struck the grassy bank of a roadside ditch and rolled onto its side. Firefighters from the Bohinjska Bistrica volunteer fire brigade responded to the scene to secure the area. They performed technical rescue operations to extract a trapped individual from the overturned vehicle and assisted medical personnel. The crew also secured a landing zone for a helicopter and later removed the damaged van from the roadway. During the investigation, the section of the road between Bled and Bohinj was closed to all traffic, with detours arranged for passing vehicles. Both the deceased passenger and the driver held Bulgarian citizenship and maintained their residences in Slovenia. The 42-year-old man died at the location due to severe physical trauma. The 38-year-old driver suffered minor bodily injuries. A duty investigating judge and a state prosecutor attended the scene to conduct an official inspection of the accident site. Following this review, police initiated legal procedures against the driver based on suspicion of committing a criminal act against public traffic security. In a separate incident involving electric mobility, police in the town of Crnomelj investigated a collision between a car and an electric scooter. A 66-year-old female driver struck a minor riding an electric scooter. Officers determined that the woman failed to yield right of way, making her responsible for the accident. Paramedics treated the injured rider at the scene before transporting him to a hospital, where doctors diagnosed him with minor physical injuries. Police continue to examine the circumstances surrounding this specific collision. Authorities used the Crnomelj incident to issue broader warnings regarding the risks associated with electric scooters. Police noted that riders of these devices are among the most vulnerable participants in road traffic due to small wheels and lower stability, which increases the likelihood of falls. Collisions between cars and scooters can result in particularly severe consequences because of the narrow silhouette, quiet operation, and speed of the scooters, which often make them difficult to spot in time. Police data indicates a rising trend in violations by electric scooter users. In 2025, officers recorded 1,257 traffic rule infractions committed by scooter drivers, representing a 35 percent increase compared to the previous year. Law enforcement officials urged both car drivers and scooter riders to exercise heightened caution. Car drivers were advised to pay extra attention at intersections and when turning, strictly adhering to right-of-way rules. Scooter riders were reminded to adapt their speed, wear protective helmets, which is mandatory for those under 18, and avoid using mobile phones or driving under the influence of alcohol. Another serious traffic tragedy occurred on the A1 motorway in Croatia, linking Zagreb and Split. On Saturday around 9:30 a.m., a six-member Slovenian family lost control of their car near the Maslenick Bridge. The vehicle veered off the road and fell into a ravine approximately 15 meters deep. The crash happened just past the Rovanjska exit heading toward Dalmatia. Rain had made the road surface wet and slippery. Zadar police stated that the 40-year-old male driver, a Slovenian citizen, did not adjust his speed to the weather and road conditions. He lost control of the vehicle, broke through the metal guardrail, and landed on the slope below the road level. A 77-year-old male passenger died in the accident. An autopsy has been ordered for the victim. The remaining five family members were transported to the General Hospital in Zadar. Medical staff reported that two children sustained minor injuries. A middle-aged woman suffered more severe injuries and underwent surgery before being admitted to the orthopedics and traumatology department. Another older woman remained under observation. Criminal investigations into the Croatian accident are ongoing.
