On Sunday, December 5, on the busy Kiev-Chop highway in Zhytomyr region, a woman driving a Daewoo Lanos car collided with a DAF truck. As a result of the strongest impact, the passenger car was literally crushed, and three passengers, including children 11 and 5 years old, died on the spot.
This was told by the head of the Department of the Patrol Police Alexei Beloshitsky on Facebook… During an accident, the woman’s husband was also killed, she herself is in serious condition in intensive care.
According to the patrolman, the woman drove into the oncoming lane, not being convinced of the safety of the maneuver on the highway. In addition, the car was moving along a slippery road from the first frost on summer tires.
“The driver and her passengers did not have seat belts fastened, there were no child seats in the car. Even if all the rules are observed, such head-to-head accidents lead to death, but in the absence of them, the chances are scanty,” Beloshitsky said.
He also added that the presence of bumpers dividing parallel lanes on the Autobahns can save from such tragedies. However, they are not yet available on all highways in Ukraine.
“Therefore, making a maneuver with an exit into the oncoming lane, make sure three times whether it is really safe and whether you can complete this maneuver on time. , let you be 10 minutes late for your destination. But they are not worth your life and the lives of your children, “the law enforcement officer insists.
