Police reported reports were filed against a 26-year-old driver and a 29-year-old driver.
Police in Osijek reported that 11 people were lightly injured in a five-car chain collision on the bypass near Retfala.

Police said a 26-year-old driver, moving with the northbound lane toward the west, did not adapt speed to road conditions and the density of traffic in the queue. The front of the vehicle hit the rear of the car in front, forcing it forward into the rear of the next car.
After that, a 29-year-old driver travelling in the same direction allegedly failed to keep the required distance and hit the rear of the first car.
Police said four drivers and seven passengers suffered minor injuries in total. They also reported that reports for causing a traffic accident were filed against the 26-year-old driver and the 29-year-old driver.
