So, in the Moscow region in the morning, on the 48 km of the federal highway M-9 "Baltia", the driver of a cargo GAZELLE collided in his lane with a light truck passing him. After that, both trucks overturned on the roadway, the second crashed into another Gazelle moving in the same direction with them.

The accident killed a six-year-old passenger of the second GAZELLE, who was in the front passenger seat on the right and was wearing a seat belt. The driver of the car in which the child died was injured and, after receiving medical treatment, was sent for outpatient treatment, while the driver of the second overturned truck was hospitalized with injuries.

In the Republic of Dagestan, on 120 km of the Makhachkala—Verkhny Gunib regional highway, a passenger car driver ran over a five-year-old pedestrian girl who was playing near the roadway and suddenly ran out onto the road in front of the car. The girl died.

"We draw parents' attention to the need to ensure the maximum safety of their preschool and primary school-age children in the spring, when, with the onset of warmth and longer daylight hours, they begin to spend a lot of free time outdoors, and as a result, they are more likely to get into car accidents. Protect them from outdoor outdoor games near the roadway," Police Colonel Sergei Hrantskevich, head of the Department for Road Safety Promotion and Prevention of Child traffic injuries at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, told Izvestia.

To improve the visibility of young pedestrians at night, retroreflective elements should be used on children's outerwear. The lack of parental control over the behavior and leisure of children can lead to injury or death of young road users, he stressed.

When driving in a populated area, motorists need to be careful and reduce their speed as much as possible in order to be able to react adequately to a possible sudden change in the road situation at any moment. It is important to remember that the behavior of child pedestrians playing near the road, as well as underage drivers using bicycles, scooters and personal mobility aids, is often unpredictable due to age and psychological characteristics, Hrantskevich added.
