Cazin traffic accident leaves three children with severe injuries
A severe traffic accident in the Donja Koprivna settlement near Cazin has left three children, aged 6, 9, and 12, with life-altering injuries. The victims, who were playing in a family courtyard, were struck when a vehicle driven by Fahret Horozović lost control and hit a retaining wall.
Medical professionals at the Kantonalna bolnica Dr. Irfan Ljubijankić in Bihać reported that all three children required emergency surgery due to massive bleeding, resulting in the traumatic amputation of their right lower legs. The 9-year-old boy remains in a coma with life-threatening head, facial, and femur injuries. The two girls are currently in stable condition in intensive care.
Authorities state that the driver, Horozović, was operating the vehicle at excessive speeds and under the influence of alcohol. He was arrested at the scene and has been handed over to the Prosecution of Una-Sana Canton. The prosecution has requested one month of detention for the suspect.
The tragedy has sparked significant public outcry in the Una-Sana Canton, leading to peaceful protests in Bihać where citizens demanded stricter enforcement of traffic laws and improved road safety to prevent further preventable deaths.
