The victim of a bus accident in the Leningrad region spoke about his condition

One of the victims of the collision of a tour bus with a train in the Leningrad region was probably thrown out of the window at the time of the accident. He told Izvestia about this on August 4.

"It was early in the morning, I was asleep. I woke up already in the clearing, it turns out. Wondering how it happened, I realize that I just flew out the window," Ilya Osokin explained.

He noted that he came to his senses when operational services were already working at the scene.

"[In the first minutes I heard] screams, fuss, panic. The ambulance and traffic police were working, and the emergency service arrived. People stopped as much as they could, helped, gave water," the man shared.

The victim was hospitalized.

"I was taken to the hospital, had a CT scan, ultrasound, examined by a traumatologist, now I'm lying in the ward," Osokin said.
