Zagreb junction crash leaves passengers injured as car overturns

5 people sustained minor injuries when two cars collided at a junction in Zagreb on Friday night, leaving one vehicle overturned, according to Croatian police speaking to news outlet 24sata. Emergency medical teams assisted those involved and firefighters secured the damaged cars.

The crash happened where Slavonska Avenue meets Hrvatske bratske zajednice Street near the National and University Library. Police said the driver of a vehicle registered in Pula failed to stop at a red light and struck a Zagreb-registered car whose driver was crossing on green.

The impact left one of the vehicles on its roof. Four people were inside the overturned car, including an infant, the sources reported. The available police account gave five minor injuries overall but did not specify whether the infant was among those injured.

Ambulance workers removed occupants from the overturned vehicle before firefighters reached the scene. Firefighters then disconnected a vehicle battery to reduce secondary hazards while crews worked around the damaged cars.

Police were investigating the full circumstances and did not provide a final assessment of responsibility beyond their preliminary description of the traffic signals. The reports did not identify any deaths, serious injuries or further vehicles involved.

The incident was reported by 24sata and Srpskainfo from local police information. A separate article in the same monitoring cluster about waste and chemicals near Ježdovec had no connection to the collision and is excluded.
