On July 11, 2024, at approximately 1:05 PM, a police officer from the Zagreb Traffic Police Station II, on Ledinski Road in Zagreb, stopped an official Škoda Octavia vehicle with blue rotating lights and turn signals activated to secure the scene of a traffic accident.

At that time, a 65-year-old driver of a car with Zagreb license plates collided with the stopped vehicle. The vehicle was traveling on Lujo Naletilić Street in a southeast direction. After reaching the intersection with Ledinski Road, the driver turned left onto Ledinski Road and continued driving east. Despite the obligation, he did not keep the vehicle closer to the right edge of the road, which endangered other road users and exposed himself to danger.

Breathalyzer testing showed that the driver had a blood alcohol concentration of 1.51 g/kg. He was arrested and placed in the Detention and Escort Unit for sobering up, after which he will be brought before the Municipal Misdemeanor Court in Zagreb for traffic violations.

There were no injuries in this traffic accident.

Crime news desk

The crime news desk operates as an independent editorial team that deals daily with topics requiring particular seriousness, patience, and journalistic responsibility. Our articles emerge from many years of experience working with complex stories involving crime, the judiciary, security challenges, and events that shape society in its most sensitive moments. These topics are handled by people accustomed to working under pressure, verifying every piece of information, and understanding the broader picture behind each case.

Professional work in this field is not based solely on monitoring official reports or court proceedings. Behind every article stands the personal dedication of journalists who have followed the development of criminal phenomena for years, spoken with relevant sources, and sought to bring readers closer to a reality that often remains hidden behind short news pieces. The desk adheres to the principle that no story is “just news,” but a reflection of situations that affect entire communities, families, and institutions.

In our work, great attention is devoted to understanding context: how an event arises, what preceded it, what consequences it leaves behind, and why it matters to the public. That is why the texts often rely on the experience of editors who have followed criminal cases for decades, who know the course of investigations, and who understand the work of police, prosecutors, and courts. Such experience enables us to interpret events clearly and responsibly, without sensationalism, yet with enough detail to give the reader a complete picture.

The desk pays particular attention to an ethical approach to sensitive topics. Every word must be measured, every piece of information verified, and every article written with respect for the people affected by tragic or difficult situations. For this reason, our articles strive for balance: to inform without harming, to explain without prejudging, to bring the public closer to what is happening while remaining professional and dignified.

Through everything we do, we seek to maintain readers’ trust by providing clear, accurate, and credible information about events that often provoke concern and questions. Crime reporting is not just a section but a responsible journalistic discipline that requires experience, seriousness, and a deep understanding of society. Our desk is committed to this every day, convinced that quality information strengthens public safety, trust, and awareness of the realities that shape today’s world.
