Details

The tragedy occurred in 2019: an 11-year-old girl died then. Her life was cut short as a result of a road accident caused by gross violations of traffic rules by both drivers.

According to the case materials, a local resident and a foreign citizen are guilty. One of them was driving a motorcycle and exceeded the speed by more than 2 times, and the other, driving a car, was performing a left turn maneuver and did not give him the right of way.

As a result of the collision, the motorcycle was thrown onto the girl, who was standing on the sidewalk and waiting for the "green" light. She received injuries incompatible with life and died in the hospital.

After the accident, one of its participants, a citizen of a foreign state, left the territory of Ukraine. He was put on the international wanted list, and in November 2021, the man was detained, after which he was extradited to Ukraine.
