A resident of Sitni Gornji recounts a harrowing incident where a school minibus landed in their yard with five children inside. The driver was able to get the children out unharmed, and they were taken to a hospital in Split with only minor injuries. The residents expressed their outrage at the authorities’ negligence in maintaining the roads and making them safer for traffic, claiming that the accident could have been prevented if proper safety measures had been in place.
The resident also expressed sympathy for the driver, who was also injured in the accident, and pointed out that the road was in poor condition due to the rain. The lack of safety measures such as a fence or bumper on the road was highlighted as a significant factor in the accident.
The incident has left the residents shaken, with one local describing the road as “really ugly” and expressing frustration at the lack of attention given to their community by the authorities. Despite the traumatic experience, the residents are grateful that everyone involved escaped without serious injuries.
