The 2013 Podgorica bus crash was a traffic collision that occurred on 23 June 2013, near Kolašin, Montenegro, 30 km north of Podgorica. The crash took place when a Neoplan Tourliner coach bus departed the roadway during a heavy rainstorm and fell 40 m into a canyon.
The 47 passengers, including two drivers from bus operator "Gregory Tour" and a guide from the tour organizer "Maree Travel", were on a six-day tour from Romania to Montenegro and Croatia. All were Romanian nationals.
The final accident report revealed the bus failed to negotiate a curve at the end of a tunnel due to the driver's excessive speed and slippery road conditions. In total, 18 people were killed and another 30 wounded.
Attempts to rescue the survivors were inhibited by the rocky terrain of the region.
