The 55-year driver of the vehicle that crashed died during the accident, while the injured passengers were all members of this family.
The authorities did not announce the cause of the accident.
On Wednesday, two children died and a group of Turkish citizens was injured when their vehicles collided on the Belgrade-Niš highway.
Also on Wednesday, a driver and a passenger in a car died after their vehicle swerved to the opposite lane of the Kragujevac-Topola road and collided with another car.
The two men in their 60s, both residents of Kragujevac, lost their lives near Božunja, in central Serbia.
I dont think these accidents have anything to do with texting, seatbelts. I know the E-75 very well, as I've driven on it hundreds of times, both during the day and at night. Notice the times of these accidents? Both during the middle of night (3am and 4am). These were probablly fatigued drivers that have been driving straight from Turkey/Greece and trying to make it back home to western Europe. The E-75 is extremely dangerous from the southern border (Tabanovce) up until Leskovac, where it turns into a two lane autobahn. Driving anywhere in the Balkans is a challenge. Shame people had to die, nonetheless.

Seatbelts, alcohol, bad roads, poor driving, use of mobile phones, people texting while driving....
Too much of it in Serbia. Never mind harmonizing with EU practice with roads.
The only way is a drastic campaign / crackdown which forces people into changing their habits.
Once those habits have changed then EU harmonization becomes possible, until then its useless.
