The court has reviewed and issued a verdict in the case of a young man riding a jet ski, which led to a tragic accident on the Charvak Reservoir this July. He collided at high speed with a catamaran carrying three people, resulting in the immediate deaths of two of them.
On July 20, 2024, the young man, without the necessary documentation, was riding a jet ski in a designated swimming and public recreation area at a dangerous speed of 40 km/h, far exceeding the permitted 10 km/h. While moving, he made a sharp left turn, violating maneuvering rules, and collided with a catamaran carrying three people on board. The collision proved fatal: two catamaran passengers died on the spot from severe injuries, and another was hospitalized.
At the court hearing, the defendant fully admitted his guilt. He explained that on July 19, 2024, he arrived in the Bostanlyk district with friends for leisure. The next day, he decided to ride a jet ski but did not see the catamaran during his ride and accidentally collided with its rear. He expressed deep remorse for what had happened, apologized to the victims and their relatives, and asked the court to consider his age in determining his sentence.
The court found the young man guilty under subsection “a” of part 3 of Article 260 (violation of traffic or transportation safety rules for railway, sea, river, or air transport) of the Criminal Code, sentencing him to three years of imprisonment in a general-regime colony.
