Journalist Mladen Mijatović published images of the wrecked car, which the former Serbian tennis player was allegedly driving.

What caused the fatal accident? Tatjana was reportedly driving the car, missed an exit, and then attempted to reverse when the truck collided with them. However, judging by the photo, it is possible that she continued driving without realizing she was going the wrong way when the truck struck her vehicle.

Tatjana Ječmenica’s husband, Darko Jevtić, who was in the vehicle, remains in critical condition in an induced coma.
