A tragedy unfolded at a bus stop on Glinka Street in Krasnoyarsk when a pensioner attempted to board a moving bus and was struck by the vehicle, dying at the scene. The incident came to light through reporting by RIA Novosti, citing information from the regional Interior Ministry. The driver started to move away from the stop as doors closed, and it appears the driver did not verify that all passengers had successfully entered. As a result, the retiree became caught in the doors and was subsequently run over by the bus wheels.
Initial reports indicate the pensioner did not survive on site. It remains unclear whether a medical check of the bus operator had been conducted prior to the incident. Law enforcement officials are examining the sequence of events and the factors that contributed to this fatal outcome, aiming to establish precise causation and any contributing circumstances.
In a separate, prior incident reported today, a drifting car crashed into a pole near Makhachkala, resulting in the death of a young man who was seated in the back of the vehicle. Authorities are reviewing these events as part of ongoing traffic safety investigations in the region.
