The County State Attorney's Office in Slavonski Brod has taken the necessary legal steps after receiving a criminal report from the Brod-Posavina Police Department. In this serious situation, the focus is on questioning a 50-year-old Croatian citizen who is suspected of two serious criminal offenses. The charges include causing a traffic accident with a fatal outcome and failing to provide assistance to the injured party, which is strictly defined by the Criminal Code.

Details of the Accident
According to available information, the accident occurred on August 23, 2024, in the evening around 20:30, on state road D5 in the town of Cage. The suspect was driving a VW Golf vehicle, heading north. It is important to note that there are suspicions that the suspect violated several traffic rules, including driving under the influence of alcohol and speeding, not adjusted to the road conditions. All these circumstances further complicate the situation that led to the traffic accident.

The Danger of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol
Driving under the influence of alcohol is a serious problem on the roads, and in this case, it is suspected that the suspect was so under the influence of alcohol that his driving abilities were significantly impaired. Speed not adjusted to the road conditions further contributed to the tragic outcome of this situation. While driving in reduced visibility conditions, the suspect noticed the child cyclist too late, resulting in a fatal collision.

Tragic Consequences
The child, born in 2011, was riding together with two other cyclists on the right side of the roadway. According to the report, the suspect's vehicle's front right part struck the rear of the bicycle on which the child was riding. The consequences of this collision were fatal, and at the scene of the accident, the emergency doctor could only confirm the child's death at 20:59. This tragic event left a deep mark on the local community.

Actions After the Accident
Although causing a traffic accident with a fatal outcome is a serious criminal offense in itself, the additional aggravating circumstance is the failure to provide assistance to the injured child. Instead of stopping the vehicle and trying to help the seriously injured child, the suspect left the scene of the accident. This behavior further worsens the legal situation the suspect is now in.

Legal Proceedings and Investigative Detention
After the interrogation, the County State Attorney's Office in Slavonski Brod proposed to the investigating judge of the County Court to order investigative detention for the suspect. The reason for this measure lies in the danger that the suspect could flee or try to obstruct the criminal proceedings by influencing witnesses. This case represents a serious challenge for the judicial system, and the proceedings will continue to ensure that justice is served.
