The participants and witnesses in the accident told Telegraf.rs all the details they saw, and say that it was very chaotic watching people drive off the road in order to avoid the aggressive driver who was coming their way.

"I heard that, before he ran into the unfortunate woman and me, he also hit another car, but there were no injuries. The Army van was overtaking a colleague, when this one came driving towards them. Why didn't he stop when he clashed into the first car? It was really scary," said one of the participants in the accident.

"I saw that other drivers were flashing their lights (as a warning), so, thinking there was an accident, I slowed down and turned on all four blinkers. However, there was a slight curve to the right, and the woman who started overtaking my truck could not see the car coming her way. I was moving towards Smederevo when I saw vehicles coming from the opposite direction flashing their lights. I slowed down, however a vehicle behind started to overtake me and avoided a head-on collision by mere centimeters!," he told Telegraf.rs.
