In the Voronezh region, a fatal accident occurred when a driver who was under the influence lost control of the vehicle, veered off the roadway, and plunged into a ditch. The incident was reported by the Investigative Committee for the Voronezh Region of the Russian Federation.
On April 19, 2023, near an automobile bridge along the street, a man identified as Chibisov from Shestakovo village reportedly mishandled the vehicle while intoxicated, causing it to depart from the road and fall into a ditch. The tragedy claimed the life of a 14-year-old passenger seated in the front part of the vehicle. The accident drew swift attention from authorities as details emerged regarding the chain of events and the resulting loss of life.
According to the investigation, the driver had reportedly invited a younger individual from a local school for an outing, an action investigated as a factor in the overall incident.
