One day we were celebrating, the next we experienced a catastrophe
– One day we were celebrating, and the next we experienced an immeasurable catastrophe. At five in the morning, my mother woke me up with a call, screaming… – with these poignant words, Gordana Ivanović, sister of Filip Vukolić (25) from Kostolac, who died on May 18th in a horrific traffic accident along with his fiancée Jovana Cvijović (23) in the village of Bare near Požarevac, began her painful confession.
The accident occurred when the suspect A. S. (29), driving a BMW under the influence of alcohol, traveling from Veliko Gradište towards Požarevac at 150 kilometers per hour, collided with the „Fiat Punto“ in which the engaged couple were, causing the vehicle to split in half.
– I still tremble when I talk about the accident and that day. Filip came with his fiancée Jovana to our house to celebrate my graduation. We were happy and had a good time, as always, Filip played with my son for a long time. I remember we talked about his childhood and what he was like as a boy – the devastated sister recounted.
