The underlined part of this sentence causes me trouble. Too much information crammed in here. I cannot quite visualize it. Any assistance appreciated.
Nabig terena od mora do potpornog zida setnice u duzini od oko 12 metara je izmedu 7-9 %, a slilazne stepenice sa setnice su od mjesta dogadaja udaljene ukoso oko 10 metara prema pocetku setnice _u odnosu na kut od 90 stupnjeva nakrace zamisljene linijem dogadaja-setnica._

The terrain slope in length of 12 meters between seafront and supporting promenade wall amounts to between 7 and 9 degrees, with the descending stairway located 10 meters athwart from the scene towards the promenade against the angle of 90 degrees of the shortest imaginable line between the scene and the promenade.
Hope it helps. The source (written in illiterate police jargon) is unfathomable so it's practically impossible to make translation that makes sense.

....a distance of about 10 meters diagonally from the place of the incident facing the start of the seafront promenade relative to a 90 degree angle of the shortest imaginable line between the incident and the promenade.
Problem is it does not make much sense to me.
