Instead of a telephone alarm, a terrible bang woke them up and then they noticed dust in the house. They thought it was an earthquake, but it wasn’t. It was a traffic accident when her young fellow citizen (36) collided with her house with an “Opel Vectra” car. His house was destroyed, but fortunately no one was injured.

– That morning we were supposed to work, he on the first shift, starting at six, and I all day. We turned off the alarm for about five hours, and then half an hour later we were awakened by a kind of forceful bang, we heard something crash and we saw smoke and dust. We thought it was an earthquake, we jumped up and ran out into the yard.

We went to the door and then we saw a car crash into our house and a neighbor when everything woke up, so he went to wake us up – Ivana said in shock.

Fortunately, the 14-month-old was not with them, but with her grandmother in the village. No one was injured, and when they saw a motionless young woman behind the wheel in the car, they did not know what condition she was in. As a medical worker, Ivana immediately called an ambulance.

The woman at the wheel was motionless. We couldn’t open the door to her, but to the other one. When the ambulance and the police arrived, they could not communicate for ten minutes. Only later did we read on her lips that her legs and back ached. She was in shock, the Emergency Service took her away. Fortunately, we didn’t get hurt. If we had slept in the bedroom, I don’t think we would have survived, because both the room and the corridor were destroyed – says Ivana, who has lived with her husband in a house on Sava Lipovanova street for just under four years.

Her husband Milan says it only took her a little while to get into the room and get ready for work.

– I heard a neighbor call us and yell that our car hit our house. When we left, we saw the car literally sink into the wall of our house and enter the room, describes Milan Pasic.
