Police named the alleged culprit of the fatal accident in the Svechinsky district

Proceedings began under part 3 of Article 264 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which provides for liability for traffic violations that resulted in the death of a person by negligence.

The suspect in the case is a driver of a DAF truck, born in 1960.

A massive road accident occurred on September 24, 2026 on the road in the Svechinsky district.

As a result of the accident, 4 vehicles were damaged at once on one section of the route: 3 heavy trucks with semi-trailers of MAZ, DAF and Scania brands, as well as a domestic GAZ car.

According to the preliminary version of the employees of the regional traffic police and investigative bodies, the driver of the heavy truck DAF moved along the highway without taking into account the current road and meteorological situation.

Incorrectly selected speed mode and non-compliance with a safe distance led to the fact that a multi-ton truck at full speed rammed the Gazelle stationed in front.

The domestic car stood on a red traffic light prohibiting on the section of the road where reverse movement was organized.

The force of the collision was colossal: from a powerful blow, Gazelle was thrown back to Scania.

Injuries received by the driver of the GAZ car, born in 1964, were incompatible with life. The man died at the scene of the accident before the arrival of the ambulance crew and emergency services.

Now, as part of the investigation of the criminal case, police officers continue to collect evidence and establish all related factors. For the accurate reconstruction of the collision mechanism and assessment of the technical condition of transport, a set of forensic examinations was appointed.

According to the results of the investigation, the actions of the suspected driver will be given a final legal assessment.
