A 29-year-old driver died in a traffic accident near Senovo on Sunday at around 12:10 local time, according to the General Police Headquarters. The man lost control of his vehicle in a blind bend, drove onto the grass verge, and collided with a tree using the front left wheel. His car then overturned onto its roof. The driver succumbed to his injuries at the scene. In the past 24 hours, police handled 129 traffic accidents, two of which resulted in fatalities, 15 ended with minor injuries, and three with serious injuries. Additionally, officers dealt with 56 violations of public order and peace, along with 48 criminal acts. They responded to incidents at public locations 36 times and private spaces 20 times, arresting one person for violating public order and peace. Two drivers were detained for driving under the influence of alcohol, while eight vehicles were impounded due to more severe traffic law violations. Among the criminal acts, there were 19 thefts, 12 burglaries, six cases of causing bodily harm and damage to property, two instances of aggravated theft and threats, and one case of obstructing official duties or attacking an authorized person. The incident involving the 29-year-old occurred after he entered a blind bend and crashed into a tree. According to police reports, the driver's vehicle rolled over and came to rest on its roof. He died from the resulting injuries at the accident site. Another tragic incident took place earlier this month in the area of Logatec, where a motorcyclist sustained serious injuries in a collision. The man later died from complications arising from these injuries, as confirmed by the Ljubljana Police Department. Authorities continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident. Police have reiterated their warnings about the vulnerability of motorcyclists in traffic accidents, emphasizing that the lack of protective bodywork in motorcycles can lead to severe injuries even from minor mistakes or lapses in attention. Recommendations include checking the condition of tires, brakes, steering mechanisms, and lights before each ride, wearing appropriate protective gear such as helmets, gloves, and suitable clothing, and adjusting speed based on road conditions, weather, and personal capabilities. Extra caution is advised in bends, on roads with potential oil or sand deposits, and during initial rainfall when tire grip is reduced. Authorities also urge drivers of cars and trucks to be particularly vigilant around motorcyclists, as their slim silhouette makes them harder to see. Drivers should always check their surroundings thoroughly before merging into traffic, changing lanes, or turning. On August 12, a police officer was arrested in Sarajevo after causing a fatal accident involving a group of pedestrians. The officer, identified as Viktor Ćatić, was taken into custody early Wednesday morning on suspicion of committing serious offenses against public safety. A 52-year-old woman died instantly in the crash, while two others suffered serious injuries and another had minor injuries. The investigation continues into the circumstances leading to the incident. Ćatić, who is also the president of the Union of Police Officers, State Employees, and Municipal Workers in Sarajevo, faces a thorough inquiry into why he veered off course into the pedestrians. In another incident, a 74-year-old driver died after crashing into trees on a regional road near Stahovica. The accident happened when the driver failed to adjust his speed appropriately in a bend, causing him to lose control and collide with the trees. The passenger in the vehicle sustained minor injuries and is currently receiving treatment. The police confirmed the details of the accident.
