An electric bus in Moscow struck a pedestrian in the China-Gorod district, according to a Telegram channel reporting the incident. At about 20:00, the pedestrian was moving along Maroseyka Street near houses 7 and 8, attempting to cross at a red signal. The electric bus, on the M3 route toward Silverny Bor, reached the intersection as the light changed. Eyewitness descriptions and street surveillance indicate the moment of contact occurred close to the crosswalk. Emergency services arrived quickly, and the pedestrian was transported to a hospital for examination and treatment. The bus crew and passengers were not reported to have sustained injuries. The incident initiated a standard safety assessment, with authorities reviewing the bus’s braking and sensor systems as part of the ongoing inquiry. Local officials stated that the pedestrian remains under medical care, and any updates on the severity of injuries would come from hospital reports. This event has renewed discussion about pedestrian right-of-way and the responsibilities of urban buses to yield appropriately at central-city crossings, especially during peak evening hours.
On 23 April, a separate incident occurred in Micurinsk at a pedestrian crossing and was captured on street cameras. A Lada Priora entered the crosswalk, striking several pedestrians as they were passing through the intersection. The footage shows the car moving into the pedestrian zone and knocking down people who had the right of way. Bystanders described confusion and alarm as traffic halted and emergency responses arrived. Investigators later identified the driver as a Russian guard employee who was on vacation and driving his own car. A routine service check was launched to evaluate compliance with traffic laws and to determine any disciplinary steps. Police and traffic authorities are reviewing the video evidence and cross-referencing it with other footage to establish a clear sequence of events and potential charges. The city emphasized the importance of following signals and staying within designated crosswalks, promising a thorough examination of this case and appropriate action based on findings.
Earlier reports in the region mentioned another driver who allegedly ignored traffic rules, with video evidence captured on camera. Those images drew attention to ongoing concerns about road safety and the enforcement of pedestrian protections in Moscow. While not all details have been released publicly, authorities indicated that investigations are continuing and that traffic enforcement will respond firmly to violations. The city continues to monitor traffic patterns and to implement measures designed to reduce such incidents, including improvements to crosswalk visibility, clearer signaling at busy pedestrian corridors, and strengthened patrols by city officials to deter rule-breaking behavior and protect pedestrians.
