Traffic accident involving 10 vehicles in the Pletovarje tunnel

A traffic accident involving ten vehicles occurred in the Pletovarje tunnel on the Štajerska motorway during a thunderstorm. Drivers had stopped in tunnels and underpasses due to the storm, leading to the collision between a private car, a combination vehicle, and a truck with a trailer. No one was injured, according to the rescue services. Firefighters from Celje and Slovenian Konjice secured the scene, neutralized spilled fuel, disconnected batteries, and removed the vehicles from the tunnel. All ten participants—six adults and four children—were checked by emergency responders and showed no visible injuries. The Rescue Belt Foundation initially reported a collision in one of the tunnels near Celje due to stopped vehicles, but local police could not confirm if this referred to the same incident. According to police, the driver of the truck with a trailer caused the accident due to insufficient safety distance and inappropriate speed. The motorway was closed in both directions during the cleanup but has since reopened, though there remains a traffic jam between the Dramlje junction and the Pletovarje tunnel heading toward Maribor.

The coastal highway has been closed due to the accident.

A traffic accident caused the closure of the Primorska motorway between Ravbarkomanda and Postojna in both directions around 1:03 PM today. Emergency medical helicopters were called to the scene, and the motorway has since been reopened but traffic jams remain. The incident occurred between 1:03 PM and 1:19 PM according to the Road Information Center. In the direction towards Koper, the jam extends five kilometers between the Unec and Postojna exits, while in the direction towards Ljubljana, it stretches over eight kilometers between the Razdrto and Postojna exits. Another accident on the Pomur motorway temporarily closed a section between Dolinsko and Turnišče, leaving a two-kilometer backup. Additionally, a regional road between Ljutomer and Ormož was closed due to an accident. The Karavanke tunnel was briefly closed due to a vehicle malfunction, causing three-kilometer backups on either side of the border before being reopened with a remaining 500-meter delay. Other sections of the motorways and regional roads experienced congestion due to various incidents and police interventions.
