The perpetrator of a fatal accident with a garbage truck in Kaliningrad received nine years in prison

The court sentenced a motorist, guilty of a fatal accident involving a garbage truck in Kaliningrad, to nine years of general regime colony. This was reported by the correspondent of "Izvestia" on December 18.

Also, 39-year-old resident of Sovetsk was deprived of the right to engage in activities related to the management of vehicles for two years.

The fatal accident occurred in June 2021. The driver of the Nissan crashed into a garbage truck standing by the side of the road, hitting the truck driver and his partner. Test results confirmed that the person responsible for the accident had been taking banned substances. Later, independent experts concluded that he had an epileptic seizure, and he was born with developmental abnormalities, so he could not realize the danger of his actions.

Over the course of three years, the man was declared both sane and insane at the time of the accident, and insane to this day. Last year, the court ordered to send him to compulsory treatment, but the culprit and his relatives appealed and canceled this decision.

Earlier, on December 13, three men were killed in a massive accident involving a truck in the Slavyansk district of Krasnodar Krai. A criminal case has been instituted. According to preliminary data, the 39-year-old driver of "VAZ-2104" with a trailer drove onto the oncoming road and crashed into a MAN with a tank trailer. From the impact, the truck was swept onto the oncoming road, where it collided with a "VAZ-2107" driven by a 31-year-old man. "Four" continued driving and crashed into a passenger Volvo.
