In Moscow, a driver of a passenger car struck a pensioner who had fallen in the courtyard, and then drove over him again. The incident was documented by a Telegram channel that reports on traffic events, known as Deptrans. Operatively.
The crash unfolded on April 22 in the yard of a building on Parshina Street in the northwestern part of the city. Investigators say a 40-year-old man behind the wheel of a white Ford ran over a woman who had fallen because of health problems. The details were disclosed by the office of the prosecutor.
The 87-year-old woman, a retiree, was transported to a hospital where she subsequently died despite timely medical care and interventions.
The North-West Administrative District prosecutor’s office has taken charge of clarifying the circumstances of the accident, monitoring the progress and results of the procedural review, and deciding on the necessary legal steps under Article 264 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. This includes decisions about initiating a criminal case if warranted. The agency’s update notes that the matter is being handled with the appropriate procedural gravity and oversight by the authorities, and it will proceed in line with legal standards and investigative procedures.
