t the moment of passing, the driver of the Chevrolet lost control of the vehicle, so he first hit the left bank, then bounced and hit the car that was overtaking him in parallel. As a result of the collision, the two cars overturned into a ditch by the side of the road, and three people from the Skopje car lost their lives – the wife, daughter and the driver’s mother-in-law. The other four participants in the accident suffered bodily injuries, with the most serious injuries found in the passenger in the Kochani vehicle. Testing of the driver of the Chevrolet car showed the presence of alcohol.
