As a reminder

On June 5, at around 5:00 PM, a driver operating a Mercedes-Benz was traveling along Chokolivskyi Boulevard at an excessive speed. On a curved section of the road, he veered off the roadway and crashed into an underground passage where people were present. 

As a result of the accident, four pedestrians – two district police officers, a woman, and a 12-year-old boy – died at the scene. Three other people sustained physical injuries.

The driver himself sustained physical injuries that are not life-threatening. He was detained and remained under guard in a hospital ward. It was established that the man was sober at the time of the accident, the prosecutor's office stated.

As the prosecutor's office noted, "at the same time, since January 2025, he has been held administratively liable 5 times for speeding, and fined another 5 times for other traffic violations. That is, in total, the driver has 10 fines over the last 1.5 years."

As UNN reported, the driver of the car was a 49-year-old native of the Kherson region, a leader of a Baptist church, who had been repeatedly held liable for speeding and causing traffic accidents.
