Yesterday, March 19, at 10:35 p.m., a passenger vehicle with Split license plates landed in the sea at the ferry pier in Prapratno.

At the time the vehicle landed in the sea, there were four people in it, three of whom managed to get out of the sea, while the fourth person unfortunately died.

There was a driver and three passengers in the vehicle. After landing, the driver and two passengers managed to get out of the vehicle, while one of the passengers, a 45-year-old woman, remained in the vehicle, from where divers from the Intervention Unit of the Police Department of Dubrovnik-Neretva recovered her body around 2.25 am.

The investigation of this traffic accident started last night and is still ongoing, and after its completion, more details about this event will be known.

This is the second unfortunate event at the same location in just seven months. Namely, on August 19 last year, a 27-year-old Indian man lost his life in that bay, also after landing his car in the sea. It was a rent-a-car vehicle, and the victim was accompanied by his girlfriend, who, fortunately, was not in the vehicle at the time.
