Banjaluka resident faces prison for not helping accident victims

Banjaluka police have filed a report against a 46-year-old man for failing to provide assistance to a person injured in a traffic accident, reports Patria.

Police suspect the man, whose identity has not been released, of hitting another vehicle on the main road section from Banja Luka to Jajce on Sunday, but of not stopping to provide assistance to the injured persons, and instead continuing to drive.

According to the Criminal Code of Republika Srpska, a driver of a motor vehicle or other means of transport who leaves without assistance a person injured by that means of transport or because of it, shall be punished with a fine or imprisonment of up to one year. If the injuries are more severe, the prison sentence can be up to three years, and if the person dies, the prison sentence can be up to eight years, reports Patria.
