Accident at railway crossing, main road closed

A traffic accident occurred at a railway crossing, leading to the closure of the main road between Celje and Rogaška Slatina on the section between Šmarje pri Jelšah and Belo. The traffic information center for state roads informed drivers about the incident. Current traffic jams are reported on several highways and roads, including the Styrian motorway between Blagovice and Šentjakob towards Ljubljana, the coastal motorway between Unc and Postojna towards Koper, the Lower Carniola motorway between Biče and Ivančna Gorica towards Ljubljana, and the roads between Lesce–Bled and Šmarje–Koper. Travel times are affected due to these closures.

A heavy truck collided with a passenger car early Monday morning on the Primorska motorway near Ravbarkomand, causing temporary traffic disruptions. The incident occurred around 7:23 local time, according to police initial reports, which indicated it was a minor collision. The vehicle ended up in the guardrail after the crash. The motorway was closed in the direction towards Koper at the site of the accident. Traffic in the opposite direction toward Ljubljana was restricted to one lane, leading to congestion in both directions. According to data from DARS, traffic resumed normal flow by 8:25. However, delays persist between Vrhniko and Dragomer on the Primorska motorway heading toward Ljubljana, as reported by Promet.si. Additional traffic issues were reported on other major roads, including the main road Ljubljana, Kočevje near Lavrica, where another accident occurred. Congestion has also been noted on the Styrian, Dolina, Primorska, and Gorenjska motorways. Near the Karavanke tunnel entrance towards Austria, a long queue of freight vehicles stretches approximately two kilometers.
