The crash started a chain reaction that affected three other vehicles, police said.
Skopje seems to be too small to handle the rising number of vehicles and frequent traffic jams. According to statistical data by Interior Ministry, most traffic accidents occurred in Skopje. Everyday's traffic congestion - particularly in rush hour after 4 p.m. when cars remain stranded on the streets in downtown city - becomes a nightmare for Skopje residents.
Most of reported car crashes in the first six months of 2009 took place in Skopje (912). The accidents left 24 fatalities and 1,345 injured. Most rashes fall into excessive speed accidents and non-compliance with traffic signs.
