The Lika-Senj Police Department reported that 15 traffic accidents were recorded over the past weekend.

Incidents with minor injuries include two accidents. In Gospić, two people sustained minor injuries, while in Senj, one person was injured.

The remaining 13 accidents resulted only in material damage and occurred in the following locations: Otočac (7), Gospić (2), Novalja (2), Senj (1), and Karlobag (1).

During the weekend, actions aimed at increasing traffic safety and sanctioning offenses such as speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs were carried out.

As part of these activities, 27 seatbelt offenses, 14 improper use of mobile phones while driving, 12 speeding offenses, and 6 driving under the influence offenses were recorded.

The highest measured blood alcohol concentration was recorded on Saturday, July 13, 2024, on the A-1 motorway near Kompolje, where a 50-year-old woman from Zagreb was driving a car with Osijek plates under the influence of 1.88 g/kg of alcohol. Due to her intoxication, she lost control of the vehicle, veered to the left, and hit the guardrail, after which the vehicle stopped in the emergency lane.

No injuries were reported in the accident. Due to the risk of continuing to commit offenses, the driver was temporarily detained in a special room until the effects of the alcohol wore off. She was fined and banned from driving a "B" category vehicle for three months.

Advice for traffic participants:
- Adjust your driving speed to road conditions.
- Observe the prescribed speed limits.
- Avoid consuming alcohol before and during driving.
- Do not use a mobile phone while driving.
- Use a seatbelt in all seats.
- Properly secure children while driving.

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.
