A massive rock broke off above the main road into Dubrovnik this morning and fell onto a van, according to reports from drivers in the "Radar Control" group. The passengers in the van were injured, and traffic on the highway has been completely halted. Emergency services are on-site, and Dubrovnik police have confirmed that one person has lost their life, while others have sustained injuries. The road closure has also caused traffic congestion on alternative routes through Brgat and Komolac, reports Dubrovacki Vjesnik. 

This morning, at around 7:30 AM, on the D-8 state road above Dubrovnik, a vehicle with Dubrovnik registration plates traveling from Župa Dubrovačka towards Dubrovnik overturned onto its roof under still undetermined circumstances.

One person tragically died at the scene, while another was transported to Dubrovnik Hospital for medical treatment due to sustained injuries.

The road remains completely closed, and traffic is being redirected via Komolac and Brgat.

An investigation at the scene will be led by the Deputy State Attorney.
