Nikola M. (16) from the village of Beranje near Požarevac died from injuries sustained in a car accident in his village, when he was hit by a “jaguar” while riding a motorcycle, driven by SM (43) from Sirakovo near by Veliki Gradišta. The teenager was driving a “Yamaha”, and a “Jaguar” is suspected of hitting his motorcycle on a slight curve. It is possible that the driver of the “Jaguar” made a phone call, lost control and crossed into the opposite lane.

Due to the force of the impact, the teenager, when it was determined that he had a protective helmet, fell from the engine, and the fact that he flew a few meters also attests to how violent the impact was.

The minor suffered head injuries and was immediately transferred to Belgrade, but died shortly after admission, while the driver of the “Jaguar” was detained. The investigation must determine all the circumstances of the accident. The engine and the “Jaguar” were sent for an extraordinary technical inspection, and the mobile phone for an expert examination.

The teenager died at the Tirsova University Children’s Clinic in Belgrade. Immediately after learning that Nikola was seriously injured, the teenager’s father and grandmother, who work in Austria, set out for Beranje.
