Croatia's defence minister was seriously injured Saturday in a car collision that killed the driver of the other vehicle, his ministry said.

Mario Banozic was travelling in his private car and was leaving the town of Vinkovci, 276 kilometres (172 miles) east of the capital Zagreb, when it rammed into a van, a statement said.

Banozic suffered serious head injuries and was rushed to hospital, government spokesman Marko Milic said, adding: "According to the doctors, his life is out of danger".

Born in 1979, Banozic has held the defence portfolio since 2020.
