A tragic traffic accident took place on the highway "Lviv - Sambir - Uzhhorod" near the village of Babina, which took the life of a pedestrian. The incident took place on November 22 around 5:30 p.m.
According to the police of the Lviv region, the man was first hit by a truck. The impact threw him into the oncoming lane, where he was hit by two cars — a Fiat Fiorino and a BMW 530D, driven by residents of Sambirshchyna aged 53 and 37. The injuries received by the man turned out to be incompatible with life - he died at the scene.
Investigators of the Department of Investigation of Crimes in the Field of Transport of the Lviv Oblast Police have started criminal proceedings under 2 Art. 286 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. This article provides for punishment in the form of deprivation of liberty for a term of three to eight years, with or without a possible deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a term of up to three years.
This tragic event once again reminds of the need for strict observance of traffic rules by both drivers and pedestrians. Police urge citizens to be cautious, especially at night when visibility is limited.
