Slovenian police report multiple traffic accidents and a near‑miss scooter incident

The Police Department of Slovenj Gradec issued a weekly report covering several traffic incidents in early June 2026. A cargo truck slid off the right‑hand edge of a road near Kozjak, causing driver injury and a fine. At a Petrol service station in Slovenj Gradec a driver struck another vehicle after an improper maneuver, resulting in a fast‑track proceeding. Police also intercepted a driver of a VW Golf suspected of driving under the influence; a drug test was positive and the driver’s licence was temporarily revoked. Separate incidents involved theft of fuel from a parked tractor, theft of rifle parts and rope, and a fraud case where a stranger obtained money from a victim’s bank account, leading to criminal charges. Additional investigations concern illegal drug production and distribution linked to a local bar.

A separate video circulated online shows a truck proceeding through a green light while a careless e‑scooter rider narrowly avoided a collision. The clip sparked commentary on scooter safety, emphasizing mandatory helmets for riders under 18, proper lane usage, lighting requirements, speed limits, and prohibitions on carrying passengers.

These reports illustrate a range of road‑safety challenges and criminal activity affecting traffic in Slovenia.
