Sefat Bajrami, one of the two police officers who were injured in the horrific car crash on the Skopje ring-road yesterday, succumbed to his injuries.

The incident happened when the two officers stopped a BMW with Gostivar licence plates which was speeding. While talking to the driver, a truck hit the BMW from the rear, bursting it in flames and killing the passenger still in the vehicle. Both officers and the driver were also injured. Bajrami was on his second day in the traffic police.

The driver is hospitalized with critical injuries. The other officer is lightly injured and was discharged from the Emergency Clinic.
