A tragic car accident in the early hours of Sunday morning has claimed the life of one person in the village of Pavlan, near Peja, western Kosovo. According to police, the vehicle lost control at high speed, overturned, and burst into flames, killing the driver.
Spokesperson for the Peja regional police, Driton Rugova, confirmed the incident to Gazeta Sinjali, stating that the accident occurred at approximately 2:20 a.m. on June 1.
“The vehicle, suspected to have been traveling at high speed toward Peja, lost control upon entering Pavlan village. It overturned and ended up in a field, where it caught fire with the occupant still inside,” Rugova reported.

The body was transported to the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Pristina for an autopsy, under the order of the state prosecutor.
