Highway Hell in Montenegro: Fire in Vjeternik Tunnel Sparks Total Traffic Collapse!
At around 5:06 PM today, a fire broke out in the Vjeternik tunnel on the highway from Podgorica to Mateševo. The result? Total chaos and massive traffic jams as the road was completely blocked. Luckily, no one was injured, but imagine the frustration of drivers stuck in their cars, watching smoke billow and waiting for the nightmare to end.
This isn’t an isolated incident on our highways. Recently, on the Šabac-Ruma highway, a bus with Turkish plates lost a wheel mid-drive, causing a fire on the grass beside the road. Again, no injuries, but passengers had to be evacuated and traffic slowed to a crawl.
Clearly, our highways have become a danger zone for drivers. Is it bad infrastructure? Driver negligence? Or something else? One thing’s for sure — these incidents cause huge problems and put everyone’s safety at risk.
While authorities scramble to fix the mess, drivers are left to navigate this chaos. If you traveled on Montenegro or Serbian highways today, you probably found yourself stuck in one of these endless lines or watching smoke slowly cover the road.
Isn’t it time we seriously addressed the state of our highways? Or will we keep enduring these scenes that make our roads feel like wild adventures from the past? Drop your stories or survival tips in the comments — let’s see who’s got the best hacks for surviving traffic hell!
