"As we have already warned, it was only a matter of days before someone would be killed due to the bad condition of GSP buses and private carriers in Belgrade," said today the president of the Belgrade board of the Movement of Free Citizens (PSG), Stefan Simić, regarding the accident that happened today near Karađorđevo park.
Two women were injured on the sidewalk on Liberation Boulevard at 13:35 p.m. when they were hit by a wheel that fell off a city bus on route 78.
"Now a woman is undergoing resuscitation after being hit by a falling wheel from a bus near Karađorđe Park, and the whole city is collapsing," said Simić.
In a written statement, Simić said that because of everything that happened in the previous month, the PSG requires an extraordinary technical inspection of all vehicles and punishment of those responsible if omissions are found.
"The catastrophic state of public transport can be seen with the naked eye by all the million citizens of Belgrade who use it every day. "Irresponsibility and complete absence of concern for citizens is the manner of the Serbian Progressive Party and outgoing mayor (Aleksander) Šapić, and we will change that first after the elections on June 2," said Simić.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs says that an investigation is underway.
It is being determined whether the injuries occurred when the woman was hit on the sidewalk by a wheel that fell off the bus. Both were injured, and one was transported to the Emergency Center with serious injuries.
