Traffic incidents in Croatia and Slovenia

Authorities in Croatia and Slovenia have reported various traffic-related incidents involving alcohol and accidents. In Croatia, a 60-year-old man in Jakšić was caught operating an unregistered tractor and trailer while under the influence of 2.14 per mille alcohol; he lacked insurance and had a previously revoked license, facing a fine of 4,310 euros. In Pleternica, a 54-year-old driver was stopped for failing to heed police signals and was found to have a blood alcohol level of 2.05 per mille.

In Slovenia, a collision between two passenger vehicles occurred on the Radgona road in Radenci. Firefighters responded to the scene to neutralize leaking motor fluids, and while the accident caused traffic delays, no injuries were reported.

Recent data from the Slovenian General Police Directorate highlights broader trends regarding impaired driving. In 2025, alcohol or drugs were factors in accidents that caused 31 deaths, representing one-third of all road fatalities in the country. Statistics indicate that alcohol-related incidents peak during the summer and in December, driven by an increase in social gatherings. In August, police recorded 160 incidents involving intoxicated drivers, the highest monthly total, while December saw 149 such drivers identified.
