Twenty-two-year-old Nemanja Rakčević from Podgorica killed 14 sheep and seven goats when he ran into a herd of cattle in the town of Podanje, near Spuž, in a "Fiat Punto" car with the registration number 'PG BN 576'.
The accident happened at 5.45:XNUMX a.m., on the old Danilovgrad - Podgorica road. During the accident, Rakčević suffered a few scratches, and Slobodan Radulović, the owner of the herd, and his two sons, saved themselves from the accident by jumping into the roadside canal.
Rakčević was driving a Fiat Punto from the direction of Danilovgrad and came across a herd of 180 cattle that Radulović from Danilovgrad was forcing to graze, the Danilovgrad police told "Vijesti".
After the accident, veterinarian Bajo Šaletić determined that 21 cattle had died
The investigation was carried out by police officers and a veterinarian, and there were also members of the Danilovgrad Protection Service who told "Vijesta" that they were asked to wash the asphalt after the investigation. The speed limit on that part of the road is 50 kilometers per hour, the police said that the expert will determine the speed at which Rakčević's car was traveling.
The driver did not see the warning
Radulović told the "News" that he and his sons were taking cattle to graze near the former cow farm, when Rakčević came at high speed from the direction of Danilovgrad. In order to reach the grazing place, they had to take the herd over the old Danilovgrad-Podgorica road.
Radulović dug a hole almost two meters deep with an excavator and covered the dead cattle with lime.
"When I saw a car coming from the direction of Danilovgrad, I tried to warn the driver to slow down with a rechargeable battery lamp, however, he did not see the warning in time. He started to brake and there were big brake marks, we saw that later. I have probably more than five thousand euros in damages,'' explained Radulović.
Radulović says that it was the first time he took cattle out to graze since June. After the accident, veterinarian Bajo Šaletić determined that 21 cattle had died and advised Radulović what to do with the animal carcasses.
Radulović dug a hole nearly two meters deep with an excavator and covered the dead cattle with lime.
"I will wait for advice from Šaletic and then I will decide what to do, who to turn to in order to compensate me for at least part of the damage," said Radulović.
