The Serbian State Service has already begun an investigation into the incident in which the official car in which Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic was sitting lost a wheel while driving.

The driver, despite the high speed, managed to stop the car by stopping it, after which the security guard inspected the car, and the president was transferred to another vehicle and the trip continued.

Vucic himself said that it is not known whether the car was damaged or simply malfunctioned, and that this will be determined by the competent authorities.

Yesterday at a rally in the northern Serbian town of Kikinda, Vucic, quoted by dariknews.bg, said that on the way to the village of Mokrina in the Kikinda municipality has a flat tire.

The presidency clarified to TANYUG that the entire wheel actually fell off.

This is an armored vehicle that is specifically designed to transport officials, so it is not yet clear how the accident occurred.

Vučić's security responded quickly and a more serious incident was prevented. No one was injured. The investigation will determine what exactly happened, TANYUG notes.
