Lushnje/ Preliminary information
At around 01:45, on 02.06.2026, employees of the Lushnja Police Station's operations room, through security cameras, observed a "Mercedes-Benz" vehicle in front of the Police Station, performing erratic maneuvers, and then the driver of the vehicle got out of the vehicle screaming in front of the Police Station, an action he repeated several times.

Under these conditions, the operations room notified the General Patrol that was on duty in the city, to approach the Police Station, in order to verify the driver of the vehicle and the reason for his behavior.

The driver of the vehicle, as soon as he saw the General Patrol coming towards the Commissariat, drove away at high speed and after a few minutes it is suspected that due to the high speed and the driver's loss of control over the direction of the vehicle, the vehicle crashed into the side curbs of the road, at the place called "Plasmas Roundabout" and overturned. As a result, the driver of the vehicle, citizen E. Xh., 43 years old, resident of Tirana, lost his life.

The investigative group, under the direction of the Prosecutor's Office, is working to fully clarify the circumstances and cause of the accident.
