It is known that a great tragedy occurred on Kopaonik when a man (39) from Aleksandrovac and a woman (35) from Novi Sad died on motor skis.
“For almost 10 years he was one of the best snowmobile mechanics. He knew in his heart how that machine worked, not to mention how skilled he was behind the wheel“, says a source familiar with the investigation.
The interlocutor adds that these sleds can develop enormous speeds, even more than 100 kilometers per hour. According to him, snowmobiles can overturn even at low speeds.
“No one can say for sure if the speed caused the loss of control, because the sled can overturn even at low speeds.“, the interviewer states.
