The Krasnoselsky District Court in St. Petersburg has imposed a restraining measure on Ruslan Gvazava as the investigation unfolds. The measure bars certain actions during the probe after he allegedly struck six pedestrians at a Krasnoye Selo intersection the day before. This information comes from the Telegram channel of the city courts joint press service.
The press service reported that the incident occurred on Lenin Avenue and near the green traffic light on May 1 when the Renault Kapteur was making a left turn. At that moment, the Renault driver was maneuvering left and Gvazava, who was driving a Ford, struck the curb and then hit pedestrians, resulting in injuries to six people, including three children. It is known that a girl born in 2013 sustained serious injuries. Court materials note that the Ford’s speed of about 60 km/h left the driver with limited control over the vehicle.
The court’s restraining measure restricts certain actions by Ruslan Gvazava during the investigation, specifically barring him from operating motor vehicles and other forms of transport.
The incident in Red Village occurred the day prior, with footage showing pedestrians being struck. According to authorities, the driver failed to assess the traffic situation adequately before the collision.
In parallel contexts that readers in Canada and the United States might find relevant, authorities emphasize that stable legal steps during investigations aim to prevent further risk while ensuring accountability. The case underscores how speed, situational awareness, and timely restraint can influence outcomes in busy urban zones where pedestrians share spaces with vehicles.
