So, in the Ivanovo region, late in the evening, on 196 km of the Rostov—Ivanovo —Nizhny Novgorod regional highway, a 14-year-old schoolboy, driving a moped, did not provide an advantage in traffic at an unregulated intersection when leaving a secondary road and collided with a passenger car. Despite the fact that the young moped driver was traveling in a helmet, he died, and his passenger was injured in the hospital.
28 accidents involving buses were recorded, in which one person was killed, and 39 more road users, including six children, needed medical help. 17 bus accidents were caused by traffic violations committed by drivers of other vehicles.
As a result of 118 accidents, 35 of which occurred at pedestrian crossings and 83 outside their area of operation, seven pedestrians were killed, and another 121 were injured in various degrees of severity. Among the injured were 39 child pedestrians, 28 of whom were injured when crossing the roadway outside the designated areas.
In one of the villages of Primorsky Krai, after midnight, a 13-year-old motorcyclist, without driving rights or protective equipment, ran over two pedestrians who were walking along the right edge of the roadway in the same direction. A minor motorcycle driver and one of the pedestrians were killed in the accident. A second pedestrian and a 15-year-old motorcycle passenger, who, like his driver, was traveling in a vehicle without a helmet, were hospitalized.
In addition, 139 accidents involving minors were registered, in which 156 young road users were injured, including 72 passengers, 15 cyclists and 23 motor transport drivers. Six children were killed, two of whom were passengers in passenger cars, and four more were motor transport drivers.
So, in Tatarstan, on 768 km of the M-7 Volga federal highway, a 34-year-old minivan driver collided with a truck moving in front of him. As a result of the accident, the two-year-old daughter of the culprit of the collision, who was in the front passenger seat in a child restraint with a seat belt, died. The driver himself and another minor passenger (his 10-year-old son, who was transported from behind in a child restraint using a seat belt) were hospitalized with injuries.
In the village of Gospitomnik, Volgograd region, at night, the 35-year-old driver of a KamAZ dump truck, when turning away from the right shoulder, did not provide an advantage in traffic and collided with a cross-country motorcycle driven by a 15-year-old schoolboy in a motorcycle helmet. As a result of the accident, a young motorcyclist died. He had not previously been issued a driver's license due to age restrictions, and the vehicle was not registered in accordance with the established procedure.
On a rural highway in Bashkiria, a 17-year-old moped driver without a driver's license and helmet drove at night to the side of the road intended for oncoming traffic, where he collided with a pit bike driven by a 15-year-old eighth-grader who also had neither a driver's license nor a helmet. The driver of a mini-motorcycle was killed in the collision, and the culprit of the accident was injured and ended up in the hospital.
The State Traffic Inspectorate called on parents to strictly monitor and stop attempts by children and teenagers to get behind the wheel on their own, as well as to exclude for them the possibility of accessing the keys of cars, mopeds and motorcycles.
The lack of control over the behavior and summer leisure of teenagers, especially in the evening and at night, often leads to injuries or deaths of young road users who do not have training in driving schools, as well as driving skills, the department said.
"We draw the attention of parents to the administrative responsibility for providing the opportunity to drive motor vehicles for children who do not have a driver's license of the appropriate category. The traffic police reminds parents to teach their children discipline and responsibility for their actions. Adult road users should demonstrate safe behavior on the road by personal example, as well as regularly remind minors of the need to strictly follow traffic rules," Police Colonel Anton Belan, deputy head of the Department for Road Safety Promotion and Prevention of Child traffic Injuries at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, told Izvestia.
