The incident in Moscow involved a driver who allegedly passed out behind the wheel, prompting a collision with pedestrians on the sidewalk. Reports circulated on Telegram channel 112 and were later echoed by several local outlets as investigators began to piece together what happened that evening.
Preliminary information identifies the driver as a 37-year-old woman, Natalya Ukrainskaya, who was operating a Kia vehicle at the time of the crash. She has stated that she lost consciousness while driving, resulting in a loss of control and the vehicle veering onto the sidewalk where a mother and her two children were located. Law enforcement is actively speaking with her as part of standard protocol and a medical examination is planned to determine any contributing factors. The driver herself is described as being in a state of shock in the moments following the incident.
Records indicate that Ukrainskaya obtained her driver’s license in 2019, roughly five years prior to this event. The authorities are careful to verify all details as investigations proceed, and they have not ruled out any possible medical or mechanical causes that might explain the loss of control.
It is recalled that on the evening of November 27, 2022, another high-speed collision occurred on Svoboda Street near house number 15/10 in Moscow. In that case, a Kia car left the roadway and struck pedestrians on the pavement. Security footage from the area depicted the vehicle tipping as it struck the curb and rolled after the impact. A mother and her preschool-aged child, along with a small child in a stroller, were present at the scene.
Medical responses varied: one child was transported to a hospital for urgent care and is receiving ongoing treatment. A second child suffered severe injuries and, despite resuscitation efforts in the ambulance, did not survive the incident. The tragic loss of life underscored the severity of the crash and the immediate need for emergency intervention in such roadside collisions.
Witnesses noted that the first vehicle involved in the latest episode was described as a foreign car, and the victims sustained injuries of differing seriousness requiring medical evaluation and care. In related regional updates, authorities continue to review similar incidents and remind drivers of the paramount importance of staying alert, especially when navigating busy urban corridors where pedestrians and vehicles share crowded spaces.
Additional context has emerged about public safety responses in the broader area, including separate reporting of injuries sustained by a bus operator in a separate incident in Yakutia. Officials say the bus driver sustained injuries after being struck by a truck, though the situation remains under investigation and details are being confirmed through official channels. Citations for these developments come from live updates issued through Telegram and other local reports, with formal statements anticipated as investigative work progresses.
