Folk star Aca Lukas was involved in a traffic accident while travelling to Bitola to perform a headline concert; his vehicle suffered major damage but he and his companions were uninjured.
Car hit by a collapsed toll ramp, concert moved to the next evening
Eyewitnesses say the incident occurred at a toll ramp on the road toward Bitola, when the ramp suddenly collapsed onto the singer's car and shattered the front windshield. Video and photos shared on social networks show the windshield covered in a dense web of cracks.
Although the vehicle was rendered unsafe to drive, those in the car escaped without physical injury. Organizers and band members were already in Bitola preparing for the show.
In a video message posted to his Instagram account after the accident, Lukas showed the damage and apologized to fans. He said: "Dear friends, I owe a big apology to the audience in Bitola. I must publicly apologize and explain. I had a traffic accident, here, look… The concert that was supposed to take place tonight will take place tomorrow night. Everyone who bought tickets, of course they will remain valid. I will continue to Bitola as soon as I sort this out. The band is already there, everything is set. Tomorrow night we will make an even better and longer party to repay the audience. I love you all."
Organizers confirmed the performance was postponed by one night and that purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled date. Lukas said he would travel on to Bitola after arranging for vehicle repairs and promised fans a longer show as a gesture of thanks.
