INVESTIGATIONS: DRIVER SLEEP IS SUSPECTED
The accident that took the lives of 10 Kosovo passengers this morning in Croatia is suspected to have been caused by the driver's drowsiness.

Pranjic is quoted by Croatian media as saying that the bus driver admitted that he had fallen asleep for a while behind the wheel. He is currently under arrest, but authorities say they are further investigating to fully uncover the reasons why the bus went off the road.
