In Ulan-Ude, a serious traffic crash left a 36-year-old woman badly injured after she was struck by a Hyundai Solaris. Remarkably, she managed to save her five-year-old daughter by pulling the child away from the roadway, a heroic action confirmed by the press service of the traffic police in Buryatia. The incident occurred on Karl Marx Street the day before the report, when a Hyundai Solaris struck the two pedestrians who were crossing. The mother took the brunt of the impact but succeeded in shielding her daughter, who remained uninjured. The mother was transported to a hospital in serious condition where medical staff continue to provide care. These details came from the regional traffic police authorities, which are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Authorities have established that the driver of the Hyundai Solaris who caused the collision had received formal driving instruction but did not possess a valid driver’s license. The investigation is ongoing as agents review monitoring footage, interview witnesses, and assess the conditions at the time of the accident. This case underscores the importance of proper licensing and road safety, particularly in busy city environments where pedestrians frequently cross streets.
Separately in the Chelyabinsk region, there was news involving a garbage truck on a city street area known as knob House. Official statements indicate the driver had already been hospitalized prior to the latest event, while an assistant tried to pull the vehicle over to allow other traffic to pass. This effort aimed to prevent a broader disruption but highlights the challenges that can arise when vehicle operation intersects with roadside safety concerns and hospital stays of involved personnel.
In another development from the Chelyabinsk region, investigators report a separate incident in which a car was stolen while the owner slept. The case is being reviewed by law enforcement to determine the sequence of events and the parties involved, with investigators emphasizing heightened vigilance for vehicle owners and drivers alike. These reports collectively draw attention to the vulnerabilities drivers and pedestrians face in everyday traffic and the ongoing work of authorities to improve road safety and security.
Taken together, these reports paint a broader picture of roadside risks and the complex chain of factors that can lead to serious injuries or property crime. Local police departments stress the need for careful driving, strict adherence to licensing rules, and proactive measures by vehicle owners to safeguard their property. Public safety messages emphasize staying alert at crossings, ensuring children stay close, and reporting any suspicious or dangerous driving behavior promptly to authorities. The incidents in Ulan-Ude and Chelyabinsk serve as stark reminders that even routine commutes can carry unexpected dangers, and that swift action by bystanders can make a life-saving difference in moments of crisis.
