Eyewitnesses spoke of the tragedy that occurred in Istra, near Moscow, when a garbage truck knocked over two children, whose mother was taking them to a kindergarten.
As eyewitnesses of the tragedy explained “Fifth Channel”, the woman, most likely, was distracted – the girls were alone on the road, and the driver did not notice them. One of the sisters died at the scene, the second in the hospital.
Local residents bring flowers and toys to the scene of the tragedy that occurred on September 1.
The video recorder of one of the cars recorded the moment the garbage truck crashed into the two- and five-year-old girls. After the incident, their mother lost consciousness – everything happened before her eyes. Eyewitnesses confirmed that the driver of the garbage truck did not violate the rules of the road – the guys crossed the road in the wrong place.
“They just left. On the road. The driver did not see it. Of course. This is not the fault of the driver, ”the local resident shared his opinion with journalists.
Neighborhood residents, whose windows face the road, said they shivered at the woman’s scream.
“Someone was screaming wildly, mom, mom was screaming… And this driver was shouting, crying,” one of the residents of Istra added.
The driver did not notice the children because of the high cabin. Autoinstructor Sergei Tsygankov noted the innocence of the driver. “The blind spot is to the right and left of any car, whether it’s a truck or a car. The driver could not physically see the children.”
The children’s mother has already been questioned by investigators. According to Channel Five, he still has not recovered from what happened.
A man was reported as well. managed Two children, who were knocked down by a garbage truck in the Moscow region, were detained.
