A Korean Genesis sedan with a flashing light on its roof in central Moscow on Wednesday afternoon, June 8 overthrown a cyclist-courier for one of the food delivery services. The accident occurred on Sretenka Street as the courier was passing through the crosswalk.
The paramedics who came to the scene gave the first aid to the injured. He was taken to the hospital.
At the same time, the driver of a foreign car with a flashing blue sign rushed to bend the license plates of the car and remove the flasher, the Telegram channel reported. Puree based on eyewitnesses of the incident.
The driver of the foreign car said at the same time that the cyclist “jumped on him”.
Later on spread Information that the chairman of the party “Fair Russia – For Truth” Sergei Mironov was in the car.
“I asked for an ambulance”
As he wrote later telegraph channel Mironov himself, really To get on in this car.
“There was an accident today. The driver or the cyclist will be blamed – the food delivery man, the traffic police will install. I did not see the fact of the collision, since I always work with documents in the car. As soon as this happened, the driver, getting out of the car, saw that the cyclist was alive and his leg was injured.
When I was informed of this, I asked to call the ambulance and the traffic police. We were waiting for him and the others to arrive.
Thank you very much to the ambulance that came within minutes and helped the injured. He was taken to the hospital with an injury to his leg. I hope the victim gets well soon. I will definitely monitor his health and help him recover, ”said the leader of just Russia.
Later Telegram channel SHOT I learned that in the cabin of a foreign car with a flasher, in addition to Mironov, there was another passenger.
“Mironov sat in the car for about an hour after the accident in Sretenka and did not leave the passenger compartment. Witnesses did not see him, and street cameras did not catch the politician. The victim was already taken away, the investigators came, but Mironov did not appear on the street. The very dark Genesis made it impossible to see who was sitting in the front passenger seat. But, probably, Mironov was there all this time.
After all, a certain lady was sitting in the seat behind the driver.
The accident scene of the Genesis, accompanied by several other cars, left about an hour after the incident,” the publication says.
“The cyclist broke the rules”
Elena Krylova, press secretary of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, told the agency: DEA News”the injured courier himself violated Traffic rules.
According to the information obtained by the fleet employee responsible for traffic safety who arrived at the scene, it was stated that the casualty was on the bicycle at the time of the accident and did not dismount as required by the traffic rules.
However, this does not exclude the possibility that the driver will follow the road more closely at this place, he said in an interview. “socialbites.ca” auto-lawyer of the public movement “Freedom of choice” Sergei Radko.
“There is a very interesting area for experts to work here, because if a cyclist were moving on foot, his average speed would be 4-5 km/h. And the driver who could detect this danger would be able to react in a timely manner. On the bike it seems much faster and maybe the driver has a It lacked the technical ability to avoid collision.
But in any case, this is a pedestrian crossing, here the driver should have been more careful, so we can talk about his fault.
Because a pedestrian at the same speed can be without a bicycle, but can run. And that does not absolve the driver from the obligation to give way, nor from liability if he has not done so.”
According to him, the fact of the skewed numbers in this case will not affect the determination of the culprit of the accident.
“As far as I know, there is some kind of instruction, although it has nothing to do with traffic rules. His skewing of the numbers says nothing about the flasher’s guilt or innocence in the accident. Here it will be determined whose particular violation led to the collision. Either the courier didn’t get off the bike and moved too fast, or the driver didn’t give way to him at the crosswalk.
In judicial practice, there is a fairly obvious interpretation: if a driver knocks over a cyclist, scooter or just a pedestrian at a crosswalk, then, as a rule, he is always guilty.
In this case, although I exclude that the blame can be placed on the cyclist, ”the expert said.
