Three people have been killed while six were seriously injured in a traffic accident that occurred at 10.35 am on the Belgrade-Nis highway near the village of Gornja Trnava.

The accident happened when a truck with Kraljevo license plates drove into a van with Kragujevac plates, that was carrying 10 people. The van, as we learned from the scene, was in the stopping lane.

The truck that hit the van was moving so fast that it continued for another 100 meters after the collision before the driver managed to stop it.
