One of the victims is very seriously injured, he will have an operation, his pelvis, hip and ribs are broken, so he ends up in intensive care. One of the men has a dislocated hip and a broken arm, the other has a serious head injury and numerous injuries throughout his body, so he is under observation.

Some fight for their lives
As Dr. Anko Antabak emphasizes, doctors have been preparing to receive the wounded pilgrims from Poland since early morning and are now doing everything possible to help them as much as possible. Unfortunately, the bad news is that many people are still fighting for their lives. They have injuries to internal organs, numerous fractures, and some people have injuries to the spine, pelvis, face, and limbs. Their lives and health are now in the hands of Croatian doctors.
