According to the Celtic police, the tragic accident was most likely caused by inattention. The Czech driver apparently overlooked the fact that the 50-year-old driver of a truck with a trailer was slowing down due to a traffic jam on the highway in front of him. The fast-moving van then crashed into the trailer.

Due to the accident, traffic on the highway had to be stopped for two and a half hours. Although the consequences of the accident have already been removed, there is still a traffic jam in the section of the motorway from Celje to Maribor, STA wrote, referring to the communication of the traffic information center.
