“The 31-year-old suspect was driving an Audi A4 car on Nikola Karev Boulevard Friday evening and when he reached the intersection with Prohor Pchinjski Street, he did not respect the traffic signals and entered both traffic lanes for vehicles from the opposite direction on a double solid line, turning left at the intersection.
