On Friday, July 5th around 21:20, a 49-year-old driver under the influence of alcohol with a concentration of 2.60 g/kg, was driving a car with Zagreb license plates without a seat belt. He was driving in the left traffic lane of the northern carriageway of Dubrovnik Avenue towards the east. Upon reaching house number 1 F in Trnsko Street, due to excessive speed, he hit the rear of the car driven by a 33-year-old man with the front part of his vehicle. This car was stopped on the roadway due to a line of vehicles in front of it.

From the impact, the 33-year-old's vehicle was pushed forward and hit the rear of a car with Czech license plates driven by a 32-year-old man. This car was also stopped in a line of vehicles.

After the collision, the 49-year-old's car continued to move uncontrollably towards the northeast and hit the curb with its left wheels. The vehicle then veered off the road and hit the concrete fence of a tram stop with its front left side.

In the traffic accident, a passenger in the car driven by the 33-year-old was slightly injured. Medical assistance was provided at the Clinical Hospital Center Zagreb.

After the incident
The 49-year-old driver was arrested and taken to the competent misdemeanor court where he was found guilty. He was fined 1,840 euros and banned from driving for three months.
