In the Kyiv region, a Volkswagen driver caused a fatal traffic accident involving two cars
A few days ago, police received a report of a traffic accident on Soborna Street in the village of Sofiivska Borshchahivka. Preliminary investigations by law enforcement officials established that a 38-year-old driver of a Volkswagen Touareg collided with a DAF truck parked on the side of the road. Afterward, the Volkswagen veered into the oncoming lane, where it crashed into a Hyundai Kona.
As a result of the accident, a 39-year-old passenger in the Volkswagen died at the scene from his injuries.
A breathalyzer test using a Drager device showed that the Volkswagen driver had a blood alcohol concentration of 2.15 per mille. Law enforcement officers detained the driver in accordance with Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.
Investigators from the Kyiv Regional Police have launched a pretrial investigation into a violation of traffic safety rules by a person who drove a vehicle while intoxicated, resulting in the death of the victim (Part 3 of Article 286-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
This was reported by the Kyiv Regional Police.
In Kyiv, a car fell off a bridge, killing the driver.
As a reminder, the police have warned Ukrainians about fake fines for traffic violations.
Fines for speeding will increase sharply in Ukraine.
Over the past year, the number of reserved workers in Ukraine has increased significantly—by approximately 300,000 people—and the number of enterprises recognized as critically important to the economy has also risen. The government attributes these changes to the expansion of the “reservation” mechanisms, particularly for frontline regions, and is preparing to update the regulations.
