A traffic accident that occurred on April 1, 2024, in Valpovo involved a drunken policeman who tried to conceal the incident. The incident took place in the evening when the policeman crashed into a car carrying a man, a woman, and two children. However, the details of the accident were not included in the official police reports.
According to the report from the portal Danica, the accident occurred at 21:35 in the evening. The off-duty police officer, driving a private car with Osijek registration plates, was traveling on the state road DC517 from Ivanovo when a rabbit suddenly ran onto the road. The officer’s vehicle hit the rabbit, causing the vehicle to veer into the opposite lane and collide with a car with Czech license plates.
Fortunately, none of the passengers in either vehicle were injured in the collision. However, a breathalyzer test revealed that the police officer had a blood alcohol level of 1.01 per million, leading to the revocation of his driver’s license and a precautionary order. Both drivers have since been indicted for their involvement in the accident.
Additional details revealed that the driver of the Czech car did not have a license, and one of the children involved in the accident was not seated in a child safety seat. This information provides further context to the events of the evening.
