Fatal traffic accident in Kraljevo

Overview

A fatal traffic accident occurred in Kraljevo, Serbia, on August 25, 2026, when a 26-year-old driver lost control of a vehicle during an overtaking maneuver. The vehicle struck a family on a pedestrian and bicycle path, resulting in the death of a five-year-old girl and causing serious injuries to her mother and one-year-old sibling.

Police investigations determined the driver was operating the vehicle without a valid license. The driver has been arrested and placed in detention for up to 30 days on suspicion of committing a serious offense against public traffic safety. The City of Kraljevo announced a day of mourning to coincide with the child's funeral.

Additional details from the Ministry of Internal Affairs indicate that the driver, identified as A. J., struck a Volkswagen traveling in the opposite direction before veering onto the sidewalk and hitting a tree. While the mother and one-year-old sustained serious injuries, the girl's father and a passenger in the Seat sustained minor injuries. The 30-day detention follows a proposal from the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Kraljevo.
