In the city of Belovo in the Kemerovo region, a VAZ-2110 driver knocked over three pedestrians at a crosswalk. The resulting crash claimed the life of one person while his wife and their two year old daughter sustained injuries. Authorities from the regional Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported the incident.
The collision occurred on the night of May 29 when a 19 year old resident was behind the wheel. The ministry reported that the car struck a 36 year old man and a woman who was with a 37 year old child.
Officials noted that pedestrians were crossing at a regulated crossing that operates with a traffic light in yellow flashing mode. This detail underscores the heightened caution required when lights indicate a warning rather than a standard signal.
The man died from his injuries, and the woman along with the child were admitted to hospital with injuries described as varying in severity. The investigation continues to determine the sequence of events and any contributing factors such as speed, driver behavior, or visibility at the moment of impact.
Earlier reports from the city of Saint Petersburg described a separate incident where a pedestrian collided with a vehicle and fled the scene, highlighting ongoing concerns about pedestrian safety and the responsibilities of drivers to stop and render aid. The Belovo case is prompting discussions about at grade crossings, the effectiveness of crosswalk signals, and the training that drivers receive regarding pedestrian right of way in regions with mixed traffic conditions.
