An accident occurred on Friday involving the police convoy accompanying the President of the Republic, Nataša Pirc Musar. According to reports from the Police Office in Koper, the collision involved only two vehicles from the escort detail. The incident took place within the Kastelec tunnel on the Primorska motorway.
Authorities determined that the accident was attributable to an inadequate safety distance maintained between the two vehicles. The collision involved a Mercedes Benz V300, which was carrying the protected person, and an Audi vehicle. The Audi was reportedly the preceding vehicle in the escort detail.
Details provided indicated that the 52-year-old driver of the Mercedes Benz V300 collided with the rear section of the Audi, which was operated by a 34-year-old driver. Both passengers involved in the crash sustained injuries. Nataša Pirc Musar sustained minor injuries, including a broken collarbone.
Furthermore, her companion, who was seated in the back seat adjacent to her, was reported to have sustained serious injuries. The police investigation focused on the operational procedures of the police escort and the circumstances leading to the vehicular accident. The report confirms that the primary contributing factor was the failure to maintain proper separation between the vehicles in the confined tunnel environment.
