The accident happened on the outskirts of Belgrade, according to journalist Metodi Shumanov.
Petrovic, 76, won the European Cup with Red Star Belgrade in 1991 during his first spell in charge of the club.
In the same year he won the Yugoslav First League before leaving the following summer to join Espanyol.

He is currently in charge of Bulgarian second division side Litex Lovech having initially re-joined as a consultant earlier this year after three previous stints as manager.
