According to eyewitnesses, the truck of a transport company in the capital was parked in the far right or stop lane because the vehicle’s tire exploded. Under still inexplicable circumstances, a “Peugeot” with the registration of Sremska Mitrovica, moving in the direction of Belgrade, flew under the left rear of the truck.

– When I heard that there was a car accident and that Smiljka, who was pregnant, had died, I prayed to God that it was not my son. In that fear, I couldn’t see what car it was, or where the tragedy happened, says, for “Novosti”, Veljko Mataković, the victim’s father, after he found out that he lost his son and unborn grandson in an instant .

GODFATHER: I WAS HAPPY ABOUT THE PREGNANCY

Just a few days ago, Smiljka surprised his godfather Dragan Kostić, whom he baptized children, with beautiful news.

– She told me that she was in the fifth month of pregnancy and that she was pregnant with a girl. She was very happy. She was supposed to go on maternity leave next week, says Dragan, who responded immediately to help her parents through their most difficult times.

Overcome with grief, the father remembered for a moment that last morning, when he had no idea that he would see his daughter for the last time in his life, before he left for work.

– We had coffee and I took care of my business. She says to me, “Hello, hello and good luck.” That was the whole conversation – says the inconsolable father.

The family of victim Smiljka, as she says, does not know how the accident happened, because they did not receive official information from the police.

– He started working in Belgrade five days ago, because the company he worked for in Sremska Mitrovica went bankrupt, so they started working for another company. In the morning, colleagues and the head of the old company came to pick her up to go to work – says her father, who came to Sremska Mitrovica with his family from Bjelovar 27 years ago, devastated by grief.

Firefighters also went to the scene of the accident, who had to cut the car body to remove the injured and the bodies of the victims. After almost an hour, the JKP “Parking Services” teams managed to separate the “Peugeot” from the truck, while the almost destroyed front end of the car attests to the force of the impact. The investigation will determine the circumstances under which the traffic accident occurred.
