Change language:
As the Hungarian news portal hvg.hu describes, it has been revealed that the BMW driver – who caused an accident on the Croatian A4 highway at the toll-booth of Varazdin, causing severe injuries to a Hungarian family – was under the influence of drugs and medicines.
It is still under investigation whether the driver used his phone before the accident.
According to the Zagreb journal, Jutarnji List – the 35-year-old Croatian man drove much faster than the maximum speed limit when he swept away the Hungarian car that was waiting at the toll-booth. Based on estimations, instead of the maximum speed limit of 50 km/h, the BMW driver barreled with 150km/h when it hit the Hungarian Skoda that the family borrowed from a friend.

The alcohol test showed immediately that he was not drunk; however, authorities are waiting for the results of blood and urine samples.
These revealed the presence of drugs and medicines in the man’s body.
The police are still waiting for the report of the phone service provider to see whether the driver used his phone before the accident.
The Croatian news portal Index.hr reported that the man had drug problems and he returned home from rehabilitation only two days before the accident, where he was treated because of drug addiction.
The sanatorium – where he was supposedly treated – could not verify that the man was their patient due to privacy rights.
