A 55-year-old man died after falling from a tractor near the Italian border in the village of Golo Brdo late on Thursday. The incident occurred when he was descending from the tractor’s metal steps, according to police reports. He fell into the water and suffered severe head injuries, leading to his death. Police have ruled out foreign fault in the accident and are continuing their investigation into the exact circumstances of the fall. An autopsy will determine the cause of death. The accident took place on a regional road near the border with Italy. According to police statements from Nova Gorica, the man was driving a farming tractor equipped with a tank. He turned right onto a road leading toward the River Ida, which borders the country. After turning, he reversed the tractor back onto the road, stopped it, and engaged the handbrake. However, during this maneuver, he stepped down from the tractor and fell into the water, sustaining serious head injuries. His condition deteriorated rapidly, and he was pronounced dead upon arrival of emergency services. Police have confirmed that the man was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the accident. They are still examining the exact sequence of events that led to the fall, including whether the tractor's equipment or the road conditions played a role. Emergency responders arrived promptly but found the victim already deceased. The police have stated they are treating the case as a tragic accident rather than a criminal incident. In another part of the country, a separate traffic accident resulted in the death of a 29-year-old driver in the town of Senovo. The incident happened around midday on Sunday when the driver lost control of his vehicle, veering off the road and crashing into a tree. The car overturned onto its roof, trapping the driver underneath. Firefighters from PGE Krško arrived at the scene and worked to free the driver using technical assistance. Despite efforts to resuscitate him, the driver did not survive. According to police reports, the driver was involved in a sharp turn that caused the vehicle to skid off the road. The front left wheel struck a tree before the car flipped over onto the roof. The driver sustained critical injuries and died at the scene. Authorities have noted that the accident highlights the dangers faced by drivers on narrow roads and in areas with limited visibility. Over the past 24 hours, police have recorded 129 traffic accidents nationwide, resulting in two fatalities, 15 cases involving minor injuries, and three with serious injuries. In addition to these incidents, officers dealt with 56 violations of public order and peace, and 48 criminal offenses. These included 19 thefts, 12 break-ins, six instances of causing bodily harm, and two cases of assault. Two drivers were arrested for drunk driving, and eight vehicles were impounded due to more severe violations of traffic regulations. Authorities have emphasized the need for increased caution among all road users, particularly motorcyclists who are especially vulnerable in traffic accidents. Police have issued warnings about the risks associated with improper speed adjustments, lack of attention, and unsafe maneuvers. They recommend that motorcyclists always check the condition of their motorcycles before riding, ensuring tires, brakes, steering mechanisms, and lights are in proper working order. Riders should wear protective gear, including helmets, gloves, and appropriate clothing, and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. In response to the recent tragedies, local police departments have reiterated their calls for greater awareness and responsibility among all road users. They stress that careful behavior can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and prevent further loss of life. As investigations continue into each incident, authorities remain focused on improving road safety measures and educating the public on best practices for safe driving.
