The vehicle involved was an official car used by the presidential office, accompanied by a security officer, a security guard, and two friends of the president. The General Police Directorate confirmed they received a report on the handling of the accident and ordered specialized oversight of the Koper Police Department’s work related to road safety. Additionally, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Public Administration, responsible for police oversight, requested a report on the police’s actions during the incident.

Policists Search for Driver Who Fleed Scene of Accident in Styria On August 15, 2026, Maribor police launched a search for an unknown driver who fled the scene of a traffic accident in the village of Zgornja Bistrica. The incident occurred around 20:30 on Friday evening, involving a cyclist and an unknown driver of a car with a trailer. According to reports from the Maribor Police Department, the cyclist was injured in the collision, while the driver left the scene without stopping. Authorities have called for witnesses and the public to come forward with information or contact the police station in Slovenska Bistrica or call emergency services at (02) 843 29 00 or 113. The search for the missing driver continues as investigators work to determine the circumstances surrounding the crash. The cyclist’s condition remains under review, and further details regarding the extent of injuries will become available once medical assessments are completed. Separately, on August 13, 2026, a serious traffic accident involving President of the Republic Nataşa Pirc Musar took place near the Kastelec tunnel. The president was traveling in a government vehicle along with her bodyguard, a security officer, and two close friends. The crash occurred during a trip to Croatia, where she was spending her summer vacation. A subsequent internal investigation has been initiated by acting Director-General of the Police, Danijel Lorbek, following media reports suggesting one of the officers involved had a history of drug-related offenses. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Public Administration, led by Minister Franci Matoz, has requested a detailed report on the incident and its handling. The case is also being reviewed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (KPK), which received multiple complaints, including one from the United Slovenia party, concerning potential conflicts of interest related to the transportation of personal acquaintances of the president in state vehicles. Boštjan Lindav, former acting director-general of the police, commented on the situation, stating that the decision to initiate an expert review was appropriate. He expressed concerns over the direction of the review, noting that it should focus on the specific incident rather than broader issues of road safety. Lindav emphasized the importance of allowing experts to handle their responsibilities independently, stressing that decisions should be made based on professional judgment rather than political considerations. In another unrelated incident, on August 13, 2026, a motorcyclist died as a result of severe injuries sustained in a traffic accident in Logatec. The incident occurred around 18:00 on Saturday, when the motorcyclist collided with a car. The motorcyclist suffered critical injuries and later succumbed to his wounds. Police continue to gather information on all aspects of the crash, including the cause and contributing factors. Additionally, on August 12, 2026, a severe traffic accident occurred near Črnotiče, resulting in two passengers suffering serious injuries. A 45-year-old Belarusian citizen was driving a vehicle carrying two Turkish nationals. Due to excessive speed, the vehicle lost control and crashed into rocks and earth. Both passengers were taken to the hospital for treatment. One of the injured individuals was found to have a ban on residence within the Schengen area. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact circumstances leading to the crash. Another incident occurred on August 11, 2026, in Škofja Lok, where a 55-year-old cyclist riding a motorcycle collided with a concrete barrier and fell heavily. The cyclist was transported to University Medical Centre Ljubljana for treatment. Police are investigating the incident and have initiated a traffic violation procedure against the cyclist. Meanwhile, on August 10, 2026, a 66-year-old cyclist was severely injured after falling off his bike due to alcohol consumption. The cyclist tested positive for 0.76 mg/l of alcohol in his breath, and police have started a traffic violation process against him. These incidents highlight the ongoing challenges faced by law enforcement and road safety authorities in addressing traffic accidents and ensuring compliance with legal standards. As investigations continue, further details and outcomes will be released as they become available.

He was walking home after a fireworks show, and then he got hit by a car.

An Austrian police force is searching for a driver or passenger who ran over a 20-year-old pedestrian early Sunday morning near Velikovci, then fled the scene. The incident occurred close to the Slovenian border, leading authorities to consider the possibility that the perpetrator could be from Slovenia. The victim, a young man from the area of Pliberk, had previously attended a fire department event in Šteben near Globasnica. Around four hours after the event, he began walking towards Šmihel near Pliberk, which is approximately three kilometers away. Approximately halfway through his journey, he was struck by a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction in Strpna Vas.

Following a recent traffic accident involving the presidential vehicle of Slovenia's President Nataša Pirc Musar in the Kastelec tunnel, the acting head of the police, Danijel Lorbek, has ordered professional oversight of the Koper Police Department's handling of road safety. The incident involved the president, her driver, two bodyguards, and two of her private friends. The Ministry of Internal Affairs requested a report and explanations regarding the incident, including media claims that one of the involved officers had previously been suspected of drug trafficking.

Authorities continue to examine the scene and gather evidence, with further information expected once the official investigation concludes.
