An accident occurred while cleaning a well in the village of Pyriatyn in the Dubno District. Two men fell into the well; one of them died.

The emergency services received a report of the incident yesterday at 4:57 p.m.

According to preliminary information, two men fell into the well while cleaning it.

Rescuers arrived at the scene. Using special equipment, they pulled both men to the surface.

A man born in 1951, who sustained injuries, was handed over to medical personnel. He was hospitalized.

The other man, born in 1982, died. Medical personnel who arrived at the scene pronounced him dead.

The circumstances of the tragedy are currently under investigation.

This was reported by the State Emergency Service in the Rivne region.

As a reminder, in Lutsk, a man illegally took possession of a Chery Tiggo, but did not get very far in the stolen vehicle—on a neighboring street, he crashed into a fence. After the accident, the suspect abandoned the car and fled, but police apprehended him shortly thereafter.

Earlier, law enforcement officers in the Ternopil region detained a 42-year-old resident of the village of Horodnytsia, who stole two cars within 24 hours and caused an accident. The man was intoxicated.

In Rivne, an 18-year-old man suspected of stealing money from a 77-year-old man will stand trial. A total of 5,175 euros and 33,000 hryvnias—amounting to over 300,000 hryvnias—went missing from the pensioner’s dorm room.
