Croatian international Nikola Pokrivac has died following a car accident in Karlovac on Friday.
The 39-year-old was reportedly involved in a collision which involved four vehicles and also killed one other person. Pokrivac was in a vehicle with three of his NK Vojnic team-mates.
They were left injured, two of them being in critical condition.
The 39-year-old midfielder played for Dinamo Zagreb, AS Monaco and RB Salzburg over his career and won 15 international caps from 2008 to 2010.
Pokrivac played at Euro 2008, where Croatia reached the quarter-finals, and faced England twice in qualifying for the 2010 World Cup.
Pokrivac was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2015 which forced him to retire from professional football.
But he returned to amateur football in 2021 and joined lower league side NK Vojnic last summer.
