D.D. indicted for fatally hitting a pedestrian in Prizren
The Basic Prosecution in Prizren has announced that on Wednesday it filed an indictment against the defendant with the initials D.D. over a fatal traffic accident that occurred on March 18, 2026, on “Wesley Clark” street in Prizren, where a pedestrian lost their life.
According to the indictment issued by the Department for Serious Crimes, the suspect, who has been in pre-trial detention since the day of the incident, is suspected of committing the criminal offence of “endangering public traffic.”
The Prosecution states that D.D., while driving his vehicle, failed to adjust his speed to the legal limit set for that section of the road, where a maximum speed of 40 kilometres per hour was allowed. According to the indictment, he was travelling at a speed of 75 kilometres per hour near a pedestrian walkway, close to a roundabout.
As a result of the high speed, the defendant failed to notice the pedestrian I.O. in time, who was crossing the pedestrian crossing, hitting him and causing a fatal accident.
The victim died as a result of the severe injuries sustained in the accident, while the autopsy report confirmed that death occurred due to injuries caused in the traffic accident.
The case prosecutor has proposed to the court that, after the main trial and examination of evidence, the defendant be found guilty and sentenced in accordance with the law.
