Six Italians were seriously
injured in a collision between a truck and a van Friday morning
on the Zagreb-Dubrovnik highway at the Zagvozd junction, some 70
kilometers from Split, and were hospitalized in the Dalmatian
capital's hospital center. This was reported today by the
Croatian news agency Hina, citing local police. The road
accident occurred Friday around 8 a.m. when a truck driven by a
Croatian citizen collided with a Mercedes Vito van driven by an
Italian carrying seven compatriots. The driver of the truck
sustained minor injuries, while six Italians on board the van
sustained serious injuries, although they are not
life-threatening. Two other Italians were slightly injured. No
names or backgrounds of the Italians were disclosed, except that
they were between 42 and 88 years of age. "The Italian driver
driving the van apparently had not adjusted his speed and, as it
emerges from initial investigations, collided with the truck,"
it was reported by local police. Against him, investigators will
file charges.
