Driver hits police officer on A6 near Vrbovsko with summer tires
The 44-year-old caused the crash in winter conditions and seriously injured a policeman.
A driver seriously injured a police officer in a crash on Croatia’s A6 motorway near the Vrbovsko junction, after driving with summer tyres during winter road conditions.
The accident happened yesterday around 17:15, when a 44-year-old man driving a car registered in Zagreb lost control after leaving the Rozman brdo tunnel. His car struck a parked police vehicle with its flashing lights on, and then hit the police officer who was standing by the vehicle.
Police said the crash was caused by speed that was not adapted to the conditions. The injured officer was taken to the General Hospital Karlovac, where doctors diagnosed severe physical injuries.
The driver was taken to a police station. Police submitted a criminal complaint for the offence of causing a road traffic accident in connection with this crash to the competent State Attorney’s Office.
The investigation is now handled through the criminal complaint process, with the driver in police custody pending further legal steps.
