A 31-year-old climber died after falling from a rock face during climbing on Saturday in Kamnik. The incident occurred when a rock hold broke off while he was climbing with two others in the northern wall of Vežica above Kamniška Bistrica. He fell approximately 10 meters onto a rocky ledge and sustained severe injuries, dying at the scene. Rescue teams from the Kamnik Mountain Rescue Service provided initial aid before transporting him by helicopter to Koroška and then to the valley, where a doctor confirmed his death. The other climbers safely descended from the cliff before a storm. Police investigated the site and will report their findings to the relevant authorities. Additional rescue operations were conducted on Saturday, including for an injured hiker near Tržič, another hiker who hurt their leg near Bohinj, and a hiker who fell into a ravine in Kočevje. A runner also suffered an ankle injury during a trail run between Črna prsta and Stržišče but did not require helicopter assistance.
In a single day, two separate mountain rescue operations took place in the Goriska region, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by hikers and adventurers in high-altitude environments. The first incident occurred when a man was rescued from a snowstorm and escorted down to the base of a slope, where he was then taken care of by members of the GRS Bovec team. After receiving initial medical attention, the injured man was transported via helicopter by the Air Police Unit to the General Hospital in Jesenice for further treatment. The police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident.
Later in the morning, rescuers also helped a 58-year-old hiker from Germany who had become stranded on a trail between Mount Kuhinja and Lake Lužnica in the Krnško Plateau. Due to the challenging high-altitude terrain, she could no longer safely continue her hike and called for help. Members of the GRS Tolmin team responded to the call and found the hiker unharmed. She was then taken over by the on-duty mountain rescue team from Brnik, and a helicopter from the Air Police Unit safely transported her back down to the valley.
Meanwhile, in the village of Vrtoče in the municipality of Miren-Kostanjevica, a traffic accident occurred early in the morning involving a 35-year-old driver. According to police reports, the driver was traveling from the settlement of Merljaki towards Mirna when he made a slight left turn and veered off the road onto the right bank. After approximately 50 meters, he collided with the wall of an older residential house, damaging a traffic sign in the process. The injured driver was taken to the Šempeter hospital, where he received medical assistance. The police are still investigating the circumstances of the accident and will take appropriate action against the responsible party once their investigation is complete.
Another incident took place in Tolmin, where local police are handling a traffic accident involving a fleeing driver. Around noon, a driver parked his car near the library in Tumov Drevored Street. Upon returning about an hour later, he noticed damage to the front left bumper of his vehicle. The damage was caused by an unknown driver who fled the scene without informing the owner. The estimated cost of the damage is around 500 euros. The police are still investigating the circumstances of the incident and will take appropriate action against the perpetrator once they have completed their investigation.
In the village of Žaga near Bovec, a traffic accident occurred yesterday around 12:20 PM, involving two personal vehicles. A 65-year-old driver attempted to merge from the local road into the regional road heading towards Bovec, forcing another driver coming from the direction of Kobarid to yield. This resulted in the second driver's car colliding with the front part of the first driver's vehicle. No one was injured in the accident. The police issued a payment notice to the 65-year-old driver for improper merging into traffic.
Separately, in Croatia, a severe traffic accident occurred on Sunday morning around half past four in the area of Galovec Začretski in the Krapina-Zagora county. According to police reports, a young man was driving a private car from the direction of Donje Šemnice towards Švaljkovac. On a flat section of the road, due to inappropriate speed, he lost control of the vehicle, swerved to the left side of the road, slid onto grassy ground, and finally crashed into a concrete barrier before the car caught fire. Local residents managed to rescue the severely injured driver from the burning car, according to the police. A rescue vehicle transported the 23-year-old to the General Hospital in Zabok, after which he was transferred by helicopter to Zagreb due to the severity of his injuries. Unofficial information from the portal Zagorje.com suggests that his life is in danger. The portal also mentions that a neighbor rescued him from the burning car.
