“I was sleeping and just woke up when it happened.
At that moment I thought the window was broken when I heard the house shaking.
And then the lady came down the stairs, screaming, crying and saying the roof had fallen on the child,” the stepfather described the situation.
Both the driver and the girl in the nursery were injured and immediately taken to the General Hospital in Vinkovci.
