Tragična saobraćajna nesreća kod Ruma-Irig 27. novembra 2025. godine, u kojoj su život izgubila četiri sezonska radnika, i dalje je centralna tačka javne i istražne pažnje u Srbiji. Ovaj razorni incident ne samo da je selo Mladenovo uronio u duboku žalost, već je i ponovo pokrenuo hitne diskusije o sveprisutnim izazovima u bezbednosti na putevima u zemlji. Dok zajednica tuguje i istrage se nastavljaju, kritično pitanje bezbednosti na putevima, posebno u vezi sa vidljivošću i opreznošću vozača, naglašeno je drugim nedavnim fatalnim događajima.
The tragic road accident near Ruma-Irig on November 27th, 2025, which claimed the lives of four seasonal workers, remains the focal point of public and investigative attention in Serbia. This devastating incident has not only plunged the village of Mladenovo into profound mourning but has also reignited urgent discussions about the pervasive challenges in national road safety. As the community grieves and investigations continue, the critical issue of road safety, particularly concerning visibility and driver vigilance, is highlighted by other recent fatal events.
I. Glavna tragedija: Ruma-Irig (27. novembar 2025.) – Poslednje putovanje završava se katastrofom
I. The Core Tragedy: Ruma-Irig (November 27th, 2025) – A Final Journey Ends in Catastrophe
Oko 6:20 ujutro u četvrtak, 27. novembra 2025. godine, kombi “Ford Transit”, kojim je upravljao D. T. (69) i u kojem je bilo sedam putnika (svi sezonski radnici iz Mladenova), sudario se sa ogromnom silom sa drumskim valjkom kojim je upravljao N. V. (49) na trasi Ruma-Irig. Ovaj stravičan sudar doveo je do trenutne smrti četiri osobe i teških povreda kod još troje.
At approximately 6:20 AM on Thursday, November 27th, 2025, a “Ford Transit” van, driven by D. T. (69) and carrying seven passengers (all seasonal workers from Mladenovo), collided with immense force into a road roller operated by N. V. (49) on the Ruma-Irig route. This horrific impact led to the immediate death of four individuals and severe injuries to three others.
Četvoro žrtava su identifikovani kao Branka Adamović, Milka Ćulibrk, Vukosavka “Vuka” Kužić, i Mile “Milo” Mandić. Srceparajuće, za nekoliko njih, ovo je navodno bio poslednji radni dan u sezoni, poslednji napor da zarade “nadnicu” za izdržavanje svojih porodica. Selo Mladenovo je proglasilo Dan žalosti, dok je zajednica tugovala za svojim marljivim i voljenim članovima. Tri povređene žene ostaju u stabilnom stanju na odeljenju intenzivne nege Univerzitetskog kliničkog centra Vojvodine.
The four victims were identified as Branka Adamović, Milka Ćulibrk, Vukosavka “Vuka” Kužić, and Mile “Milo” Mandić. Heartbreakingly, for several of them, this was reportedly their last workday of the season, a final push to earn the “nadnica” (daily wage) to support their families. The village of Mladenovo observed a Day of Mourning (Dan žalosti), as the community grieved for its diligent and beloved members. The three injured women remain in stable condition in the intensive care unit of the Vojvodina Clinical Center.
II. Fokus istrage: Brzina, vidljivost i nerazjašnjena pitanja o bezbednosti u zoni radova
II. Investigation Focus: Speed, Visibility, and Unanswered Questions on Work Zone Safety
Preliminarne policijske istrage, ažurirane do 30. novembra 2025. godine, i dalje ukazuju na neprilagođenu brzinu vozača kombija (D. T.) kao primarni faktor koji je doprineo nesreći. Ovo kritično pitanje je bilo ozbiljno pogoršano izuzetno lošom vidljivošću zbog guste magle u trenutku suda拉, pretvarajući jutarnje putovanje na posao u smrtnu zamku.
Preliminary police investigations, updated through November 30th, 2025, continue to point to inadequate speed by the van driver (D. T.) as a primary contributing factor. This critical issue was severely exacerbated by extremely poor visibility due to dense fog (gusta magla) at the time of the collision, transforming the morning commute into a death trap.
Ključno, stanovnici Mladenova su postavili nova pitanja. Drugi vozač kombija, koji je prošao istim delom puta samo nekoliko trenutaka pre fatalnog sudara, navodno je izjavio da u tom trenutku nije bilo vidljivog drumskog valjka na putu. Ovo svedočenje je pokrenulo dalja istraživanja o tome da li je valjak iznenada pomeren na put, da li mu je nedostajalo adekvatno upozoravajuće obežavanje ili je potencijalno bio neosvetljen, postajući tako neočekivana i smrtonosna prepreka.
Crucially, new questions have been raised by Mladenovo residents. Another van driver, who passed through the same stretch of road just moments before the fatal crash, reportedly stated that there was no road roller visible on the road at that precise moment. This testimony has sparked further inquiry into whether the roller was moved onto the road suddenly, lacked adequate warning markings, or was potentially unlit (neosvetljen), thus becoming an unexpected and lethal obstruction.
III. Pravni postupci i širi poziv na bezbednost na putevima
III. Legal Actions and the Broader Call for Road Safety
Kao odgovor na preliminarne nalaze, vozač drumskog valjka, N. V., ostaje zadržan 48 sati pod sumnjom da je počinio “teško delo protiv bezbednosti javnog saobraćaja”. Tužilaštvo je naložilo kompletne obdukcije žrtava i sveobuhvatne tehničke preglede oba vozila, osiguravajući da svi aspekti tragičnog događaja budu temeljno ispitani.
In response to the preliminary findings, the road roller driver, N. V., remains detained for 48 hours under suspicion of committing a “serious crime against public traffic safety.” The prosecutor’s office has ordered full autopsies for the victims and comprehensive technical inspections of both vehicles, ensuring that all aspects of the tragic event are thoroughly examined.
Tragedija Ruma-Irig služi kao posebno oštar i bolan podsetnik na ljudsku cenu saobraćajnih nesreća. Kritični faktori slabe vidljivosti, neprilagođene brzine i nejasnog obeležavanja radova na putu predstavljaju stalne izazove u kontekstu bezbednosti saobraćaja u Srbiji.
The Ruma-Irig tragedy serves as a particularly stark and painful reminder of the human cost of road accidents. The critical factors of poor visibility, inadequate speed, and unclear road work markings are persistent challenges in Serbia’s traffic safety landscape.
Ovo kritično upozorenje dodatno je naglašeno još jednim razornim incidentom samo dva dana kasnije. Ujutro 29. novembra 2025. godine, kod Laćarka (područje Sremske Mitrovice), otac i njegova šesnaestogodišnja ćerka tragično su izgubili živote kada se njihovo putničko vozilo sudarilo sa kombijem. Ovaj fatalni sudar, poput incidenta Ruma-Irig, dogodio se u uslovima smanjene vidljivosti, pri čemu su očevici na mestu događaja (krivina kod Čalme) izričito primetili smanjenu vidljivost.
This critical warning is further underscored by another devastating incident just two days later. On the morning of November 29th, 2025, near Laćarak (Sremska Mitrovica area), a father and his 16-year-old daughter tragically lost their lives when their passenger vehicle collided with a van. This fatal crash, like the Ruma-Irig incident, occurred under conditions of reduced visibility, with eyewitnesses at the scene (a curve near Čalma) specifically noting the diminished sightlines.
Ove nedavne tragedije kolektivno naglašavaju hitnu i stalnu potrebu za pojačanom opreznošću svih vozača, strogim pridržavanjem saobraćajnih propisa i kontinuiranim naporima vlasti da poboljšaju putnu infrastrukturu, posebno pravilno obeležavanje i osvetljavanje radnih zona. Izgubljeni životi služe kao snažan apel za veću opreznost i sistemska poboljšanja bezbednosti na putevima Srbije.
These recent tragedies collectively highlight an urgent and ongoing need for heightened vigilance from all drivers, strict adherence to traffic regulations, and continuous efforts by authorities to improve road infrastructure, especially the proper marking and lighting of work zones. The lives lost serve as a powerful appeal for greater caution and systemic safety enhancements across Serbia’s roads.
