On the road tragedy of two brothers: the older one died
A tragic road accident involving two brothers occurred in 2016 when Vojko Marinč, who was driving under the influence of alcohol, lost control of his vehicle due to glare from oncoming headlights. The car veered off the road, crashed into a wooden electric fence post and a tree, and rolled onto its roof before coming to rest. His older brother, Matevž Marinč, suffered fatal head and brain injuries, while Vojko sustained less severe injuries. The trial for this incident began in March 2024, nearly eight years after the accident, and is expected to conclude by autumn. Local residents had previously raised concerns about the narrow and unsafe stretch of road where the crash occurred, but these warnings were apparently ignored. Vojko admitted to being drunk at the time but claimed he did not realize his ability to drive was impaired. His defense attorney argues that the dangerous road conditions, rather than Vojko’s intoxication, were the main cause of the accident.
