Shocking Accident in Botinec: Truck Crashes into House, Five Neighbors Could Have Died!
This morning around 10 AM in the Zagreb neighborhood of Botinec, a terrifying accident occurred that could have ended in disaster. A concrete mixer truck lost control and literally crashed into the yard of a house, demolishing part of the building. The material damage is huge, but fortunately, no one was injured.
If five neighbors had been inside, today we would be mourning!
Neighbors are in shock. Valentina Kralj, one of them, said that five people often stay in the house. If they had been there at the time of the accident, five people would have died! Imagine that – five lives at stake due to the driver’s irresponsibility and inadequate street safety.
Mirjana Kralj, another neighbor, described the moment of the accident: “I saw the driver lose control, the truck veered off the road and hit the house. The dust was huge, it looked like everything was collapsing on us!”
They have been warning for years, but no one listens!
Neighbors have been warning the authorities about the danger in this part of Botinec for a year. They are asking for speed bumps and other safety measures, but everyone passes the responsibility to someone else. No one wants to take responsibility while such things happen!
Police and emergency services on site, investigation ongoing
The Zagreb police quickly responded and conducted an investigation. The inquiry is ongoing to determine the circumstances of the accident. According to initial information, the driver lost control of the truck, but details will be known after the investigation is complete.
Why do such things happen?
This accident is just the tip of the iceberg of traffic safety problems in Zagreb. Trucks driving through residential areas, inadequate traffic signage, and lack of measures to slow down traffic lead to such near-tragedies.
What do the neighbors say?
“Recently, a man died nearby, and no one helps us. We ask for something to be done, but it’s like we are invisible!” says one neighbor.
Conclusion: Danger lurks around the corner!
This accident is a warning to all of us. How many more lives must be endangered before safety measures are introduced? Will anyone finally listen to the pleas of the people of Botinec?
If you thought such things only happen far away, think again. This tragedy is our reality. What do you think – is it time for change? Or will we wait for a real catastrophe? Share your thoughts, maybe your word will start a wave of change!
