In the Altai Territory, a man reportedly struck a boy with a vehicle, then took the child home and subjected him to repeated drops. The incident prompted the district courts to issue a formal statement through their joint press service. The event unfolded in the Blagoveshchensk region, where a driver, under the influence, allegedly ran over a student, picked up the boy, and transported him back to his residence. According to the court report, the man fell onto the snow several times while carrying the child home, contributing to the severity of the injuries sustained by the child.
The driver faced charges for violating traffic rules while intoxicated, causing grievous bodily harm, and leaving the scene of the accident. He was found guilty under Article 2, paragraphs a and b, of the 264th Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The court sentenced him to 3.5 years in a colonial settlement, and it granted a claim for non-pecuniary damages amounting to 50,000 rubles, reflecting the court’s recognition of the emotional and physical impact on the victim and their family.
As this case progressed, reporting reflected a separate incident where a crossover driver struck a boy riding a scooter in Volgograd, an event that prompted the boy’s father to confront the driver. This sequence underscores ongoing concerns about road safety, the responsibilities of drivers, and the need for clear accountability when accidents involve minors. Authorities emphasize adherence to traffic laws, the prevention of harm to children, and the appropriate legal remedies available to affected families.
