Another horrific traffic accident occurred in the Bostanlyk district of Tashkent region. On July 27 at about 13:10, the driver of a “Damas” car hit a six-year-old child running across the road in an unauthorized area.
The 25-year-old driver did not have time to react to the appearance of the child, who suddenly ran onto the roadway. The boy, who lives in the Chinaz district, received serious injuries and was urgently hospitalized in the district hospital.
In the video that spread on social media, it is clearly visible how a man parks his car on the side of the road and crosses the street to buy something from a store. After him, a girl jumps out of the car and runs headlong across the road, followed by a boy who does not look around. He is then hit by the driver of the “Damas,” who simply could not see the child running out as he was blocked by the parked car. It should be noted that the minivan was likely exceeding the speed limit.
Currently, law enforcement officers are investigating the incident.
This tragic case once again demonstrated the need to strengthen road safety measures and increase the responsibility of both drivers and pedestrians. Additionally, many social media users urged parents to be more attentive and not leave their children unsupervised on the roads.
Previously, we reported that the country lacks pedestrian-safe infrastructure. As a result, hundreds of people die every year.
