An 84-year-old cyclist died after being struck by a bus at an intersection in central Ljubljana on Sunday morning. The collision occurred shortly before 11:00 a.m. at the junction of Opekarska cesta and Kopacova ulica in the Trnovje district. Police confirmed that the victim sustained severe injuries in the crash and later succumbed to his wounds at a medical facility. The incident was reported by the Ljubljana police headquarters, which stated that initial information indicates the bus driver was turning left from Opekarska cesta when the vehicle hit the cyclist. At the time of the impact, the cyclist was crossing the roadway of Kopacova ulica using a designated bicycle lane crossing. The cyclist suffered serious physical trauma during the collision. Emergency responders transported him via ambulance to a healthcare institution. Medical staff subsequently informed the police that the man had died from the injuries sustained in the accident. Police officers conducted an inspection of the scene and have continued gathering evidence regarding all circumstances surrounding the event. Authorities stated that they will notify the competent public prosecutor’s office of all findings once the investigation progresses. One discrepancy exists among the reports regarding the age of the deceased. While the majority of sources, including the Ljubljana police statement cited by multiple news agencies, identify the victim as an 84-year-old man, one early report from the General Police Directorate listed the cyclist’s age as 85. All other accounts consistently refer to the victim as 84 years old. Local media outlet Dnevnik reported additional details based on its own information, stating that both the bus driver and the cyclist had green traffic lights at the moment of the collision. According to a witness quoted by the publication, who described herself as shaken, the cyclist fell motionless onto the road immediately after the impact. The witness further noted that the bus driver appeared to be in even greater shock following the incident. The bus involved in the crash has been identified by some reports as belonging to the Ljubljana Public Transport company, known locally as LPP. The location of the accident is a busy intersection in the Trnovje neighborhood of Ljubljana. The specific point of impact was within the marked crossing for the bicycle path over Kopacova ulica. The timing of the accident, just before mid-morning on a Sunday, suggests regular commuter and local traffic conditions were present. Investigations into fatal traffic accidents in Slovenia typically involve detailed scene analysis, review of traffic signal records, and interviews with witnesses and drivers. In this case, the police emphasized that their current statements are based on information gathered up to that point. They indicated that the process of clarifying the exact dynamics of the turn and the positions of both parties is ongoing. The involvement of the public prosecutor signals that the case is being treated as a criminal matter, standard procedure for fatalities resulting from traffic collisions. No official statement regarding the condition of the bus driver beyond the witness account of his shock has been released by the authorities. The identity of the cyclist has not been publicly disclosed in the available reports. The focus of the immediate police activity remained on securing the scene and documenting the sequence of events leading up to the fatal impact. The medical facility did not release further details on the specific nature of the injuries beyond confirming death resulted from the trauma sustained in the crash. The area around Opekarska cesta and Kopacova ulica saw normal traffic flow resume after emergency services cleared the site. There were no reports of major long-term traffic disruptions extending beyond the immediate vicinity of the intersection. The incident adds to the record of traffic safety concerns involving cyclists and larger vehicles in urban environments in Ljubljana. Authorities have not yet announced whether the bus driver was detained or if breathalyzer tests were administered, although such procedures are standard in fatal accident investigations. The final determination of liability and the specific charges, if any, will depend on the completed investigation and the subsequent decision by the prosecutor's office. Until then, the official narrative relies on the preliminary finding that the bus struck the cyclist while he was in the designated crossing area.
