Miroslav Cimpl, a Serbian employee of the US Embassy refused to make way for the motorcade and crashed repeatedly into the vehicles of the motorcade, though the president’s car was not affected. The employee managed to flee, but after reporting the incident to his employer, the US Embassy, he was subsequently arrested. This incident was very significant to the general public because it evoked memories of a failed attempt of assassination of Zoran Djnindjic, when a car crashed into Djindjic's motorcade on an open road. Many believed this incident to be an attempt to assassinate Tadic. However, a subsequent police investigation found no evidence to support this claim.

The Minister of Police said on a press conference that Cimpl was confused when he saw the flashing lights of the motorcade and did not know what to do. The police concluded that it was only a traffic accident and that there was no intention to harm the President. Cimpl stayed in jail for two weeks, before being released.
