The car they were chasing was registered to a 13-year-old boy.

On Monday afternoon, police in Pribislavec initiated a chase after a driver who fled the scene of a traffic accident. During the pursuit, a police vehicle crashed off the road, but fortunately, no one was injured, and only material damage occurred. The car involved in the incident was registered under a 13-year-old child, which is legally permissible in Croatia. However, the vehicle was driven by an adult without a valid driver’s license, according to unofficial reports. The police continue their search for the suspect, narrowing down their investigation.

Policewomen in Pribislavc pursued a driver who fled after causing a traffic accident, only to find the vehicle registered to a 13-year-old child. The incident occurred on Monday afternoon around 4 p.m., when the driver caused a collision and fled the scene. During the chase, a police car was damaged and veered off the road. Fortunately, no one was injured, and only property damage resulted. The police confirmed they continue searching for the fleeing driver. According to local reports, the car used by the driver was registered under the name of a 13-year-old child. In Croatia, vehicles can be registered under the names of minors, with legal representatives handling the registration process. However, this does not imply the minor can legally drive the vehicle. According to unconfirmed information, the driver is an adult with multiple traffic violations and no valid driving license. Authorities have narrowed their search for the individual, who remains at large. The incident has raised questions about how a vehicle registered to a minor ended up being driven by someone without a license. Police have not yet identified the driver, but investigations into the matter are ongoing.
