A 67-year-old woman pedestrian was killed on Sunday in Shkodra in a road accident at the spot known as “Bahçallëk Bridge,” Top Channel reported.

According to preliminary information, the driver, B. P., 27, is suspected of losing control of the car, leaving the road and crashing into the metal stairs of a building. E. B., 67, who was walking on the sidewalk at the time, was killed in the crash.

Librazhd: car in a ravine, pistol nearby

In Librazhd, a Mercedes-Benz left the road in the village of Farret in the Stravaj administrative unit and fell into a ravine about 150 meters from the road. Its driver, 22-year-old Renis Kalnxhi, was taken to Librazhd hospital for treatment and, according to Top Channel, is out of danger. No one else was found in the vehicle, which was left damaged by the fall.

While searching the area, officers found a pistol near the damaged car.
