Two young victims, a three-month-old baby in a stroller and a 13-year-old girl, were hurt in a crash involving a drunk motorcyclist in Tyumen, according to local traffic police. The incident took place near house number 15 on Shcherbakova Street as the rider lost control of the motorcycle and the vehicle overturned, plowing into the young pedestrians as they walked with their mothers.
Authorities reported that both children sustained various injuries. The exact medical status of the injured was not released at the scene or by police.
