On 13 September 1979, a crash occurred between two trains near the village of Stalać in SR Serbia, then part of Yugoslavia. The crash involved a head-on collision between a packed express passenger train bound for Skopje and an intermodal freight train on a single-track section of the railway. Due to communication errors and possible driver fatigue, the two trains collided, resulting in 62 fatalities and 106 injuries. The crash remains one of the more significant rail accidents in former Yugoslavia, though not widely documented. The driver of the freight train and his assistant were blamed for the accident and sentenced to 20 and 15 years, respectively.
