As many as 56 people injured, two killed

Let's recall that a horrific traffic accident occurred this morning at around 6 a.m. near Umka, in which the intercity buses "Lasta" and "Šević Tours" collided, killing two people - a woman V.I., about 40 years old, and a man, a TENT employee.

According to an eyewitness, the bus flew past people at the station, and then a horrific collision occurred.

"It exploded like a bomb had gone off! A bus literally flew past the station, people were standing at the station and it flew past them! This looks like a head-on collision," said the eyewitness.

Apparently, the bus traveling from Obrenovac was overtaking the convoy and did not manage to return to its lane in time. That's when a head-on collision occurred, as it crashed into Lasta's vehicle, which was traveling from Belgrade to Obrenovac.
