Sources: 132. Developments: 2. The A3 motorway in Croatia has been the subject of local legends and urban myths, with a report by DiscoverCars.com identifying it as one of the ten most haunted roads in Europe. Although the road has a history of serious traffic accidents, there is no scientific evidence to support supernatural claims. On November 7, 2026, a fatal accident occurred on the highway near the Ivanić-Grad junction heading toward Zagreb. At approximately 7:25 a.m., a Niš Ekspres bus with Serbian registration plates skidded off the road and overturned at the 61st kilometer. The vehicle reportedly broke through the roadside safety barrier and rolled onto a grassy area. At least two people were killed, identified as a 53-year-old Croatian female citizen and a 17-year-old girl from Montenegro. Of the 35 people on board, 33 were injured: six sustained serious injuries, including multiple fractures and bleeding, and 27 sustained minor injuries. Medical officials stated that none of the injured were in life-threatening condition at the time of reporting. Emergency responders, including nine medical teams, 15 firefighters, and a HEMS helicopter, transported patients to various hospitals in the Zagreb area. Preliminary investigations by the State Attorney’s Office (DORH) suggest the accident occurred when the 55-year-old Serbian driver failed to maintain the vehicle within its lane, veered onto the shoulder, and struck a metal guardrail. While some passengers have alleged that the driver fell asleep at the wheel shortly after a driver changeover, the driver has claimed he suffered a sudden health issue related to diabetes. A forensic expert noted that driver fatigue is a likely cause. The driver has been arrested, placed in investigative detention, and faces criminal charges for causing a traffic accident. An official investigation remains ongoing. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-07: Croatia bus accident kills two and injures dozens A Serbian bus overturned on Croatia's A3 highway near Ivanić-Grad, killing two women and injuring over 30 passengers.
