They said that of the two, the woman was the more seriously injured and that the child had chest injuries.
No ages or names were available but the British Embassy had been informed, said local police.
The
crash happened on the Adriatic coast road on the way to Dubrovnik and
the family were travelling in a car with British number plates,
indicating that they had driven to the region from the UK.
According
to initial reports, the British car struck a concrete verge at the side
of the road and bounced into the path of a truck coming in the opposite
direction.
The truck was apparently a vehicle used by the country's road maintenance organisation.
The
road, which is a key route for tourists heading to their holidays in
the Croatian coastline, remains closed at the moment as police carry on
with the clean-up operation, according to spokeswoman Marija Gjenero
speaking to Central European News on Thursday morning.
