In the Kyiv region, at a recreational area on the banks of the Ros River, a 17-year-old boy struck a 61-year-old woman while learning to drive a VAZ. According to preliminary reports, the accident occurred while the car was backing up.

 

Law enforcement officials determined that in the riverside and forested area along the Ros River, the 17-year-old boy, while driving a VAZ and reversing, struck a 61-year-old woman who was relaxing near the water.
