Hellish Intersection in Vranje: 12-Year-Old Boy Loses Leg After Collision with Truck!
A heartbreaking tragedy has shaken Vranje and the entire region. A 12-year-old boy, riding an electric scooter, was hit by a truck and had to have his leg amputated up to the hip due to severe injuries! Yes, you read that right – a child lost his leg because of reckless riding and ignoring traffic rules.
What Happened?
The accident occurred yesterday around 4:20 PM at one of the busiest intersections in Vranje, where Kosovska, Blagoja Parović, and Ratko Pavlović streets meet. The boy failed to stop at a STOP sign and entered the intersection, colliding with a truck driven by an adult man. The result? Life-threatening severe injuries.
Emergency Response and a Tough Decision
The injured boy was immediately transported to the University Clinical Center in Niš, where doctors had to make the difficult decision to amputate his leg up to the hip. The injuries were so severe that saving the leg was impossible. He is currently in intensive care, fighting for his life.
Where’s the Problem?
Kosovska street is one of the longest and busiest streets in Vranje, and near the accident site are an elementary school and a kindergarten, both fenced off for safety. How could such a tragedy happen right there? Is the traffic signage enough? Do parents and kids understand how dangerous it is to ignore the rules?
Prosecutor’s Office Steps In
The Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Vranje has promptly taken over the case. The investigation is ongoing, with all details being carefully analyzed. Will anyone be held accountable? Will anything change to prevent such tragedies in the future?
The Dangers of Electric Scooters
Electric scooters have become popular, but they are not toys. Riding without protective gear and ignoring traffic laws can have catastrophic consequences, as this case painfully shows. Parents, beware! Kids are not ready for these risks without supervision and education.
Conclusion: The Price of Carelessness?
This tragedy is a wake-up call for all of us. One moment of carelessness can change a child’s life and their family forever. Will we finally realize how important it is to obey traffic rules and care for the safety of our youngest?
