The police are looking for a small red car that was involved in an accident involving a bus from the Highway Patrol

The police in Rijeka are investigating two traffic accidents that occurred yesterday. In the first incident, an 83-year-old pedestrian was seriously injured after being hit by a private car driven by a 62-year-old Croatian woman. The driver has been reported to the state prosecution under suspicion of causing a traffic accident. In the second incident, around 15:30, an unknown driver operating a small red car made an improper turn into Cambierieva Street without signaling, endangering a city bus carrying five passengers. The bus driver had to brake suddenly, causing the passengers to fall onto the floor. All involved received medical attention at the KBC Rijeka hospital, where they were diagnosed with minor injuries. The police are calling for the driver of the red car and any witnesses to come forward.

A 92-year-old pedestrian was killed instantly after being struck by a van in Kraljevica early Monday morning, according to police reports. The incident occurred around 9:40 AM when the elderly woman, a Croatian citizen, was hit by a vehicle with Rijeka license plates driven by a 23-year-old local man. The impact caused her to fall to the ground, and she died at the scene. An investigation is currently underway, led by the deputy county state attorney in Rijeca with assistance from police officers, to determine all circumstances leading to the accident. The tragedy unfolded amid a series of traffic incidents across Croatia over the past few days. In Kaštel Lukšić, a foreign national residing in Croatia who was 75 years old suffered fatal injuries after being struck by a car driven by a 20-year-old Croatian woman living in Germany. The collision happened near a marked crosswalk, and authorities have filed a criminal complaint against the young driver for causing a traffic accident. The victim later succumbed to her injuries in hospital. In Rijeka, two separate incidents involving pedestrians and public transport vehicles were reported. One involved an 83-year-old woman who was seriously injured when hit by a private car driven by a 62-year-old Croatian woman. The victim received medical attention at the KBC Rijeka hospital, where she was diagnosed with severe physical injuries. A criminal investigation has been initiated against the driver for causing a traffic accident. Another incident occurred when a small red car allegedly caused a sudden stop in a city bus operated by Autotrolej, resulting in eight passengers falling inside the vehicle. The bus was traveling along route 32 towards Opatija when a red Renault Clio suddenly veered right into the path of the bus. The driver applied emergency brakes, causing the passengers to fall. One person sustained a minor leg injury, while others were treated on-site. Police are seeking the driver of the red car to investigate the incident further. Meanwhile, in Požega, a serious traffic collision occurred in Vidovci involving two private cars. One individual was taken to the Požega County Hospital for treatment following the crash. A police investigation is ongoing to establish the exact cause and manner of the collision. On the A3 motorway near the Lužani junction, a tragic accident resulted in the death of a child and multiple injuries. According to initial reports, two vehicles were involved in the collision, which led to several people receiving medical attention. Emergency services, including paramedics and firefighters, rushed to the scene. The child, who suffered critical injuries, was pronounced dead after approximately an hour of resuscitation efforts. Another individual was transported to the Dr. Josip Benčević General Hospital in Slavonski Brod for intensive care, while two others sustained less severe injuries. Traffic on the A3 motorway between the Lužani and Slavonski Brod junctions has slowed significantly due to the ongoing investigation, creating a four-kilometer-long queue of vehicles. Authorities continue their investigations into each of these incidents, aiming to uncover the causes and hold responsible parties accountable. As the inquiries progress, more information is expected to emerge regarding the circumstances surrounding these tragic events.
