Recovery services returned to the roadway a caravan that was left hanging over 40 meters high on the bridge connecting the mainland to the island of Krk due to wind gusts up to 172 km/h. The driver of the van towing the trailer ignored the authorities' ban on bridge transit for vehicles with caravans under high wind conditions. The recovery operation was hampered by ongoing wind gusts, and traffic on the bridge resumed after its completion.
