Investigators completed the case of an accident in the Mogilev region: the version of a wild animal was not confirmed

The Investigative Department of the UCK in the Mogilev region completed the investigation of the criminal case against an 18-year-old driver who committed an accident with serious consequences. This was reported in the Investigative Committee, writes sb.by.

The accident occurred on the morning of August 25 in the village of Guslyanka. Driving a Peugeot car, the guy did not cope with the control on the round of the road: the car flew out of the roadway, overturned and crashed into a tree. There were five minor passengers in the cabin. The 16-year-old girl, who was sitting in front, was thrown out of the cabin - she received serious injuries and was hospitalized.

At first, the accused claimed that an elk ran into the road. However, this version was not confirmed: investigators interviewed eyewitnesses, conducted an additional inspection of the scene, but no trace of the animal was found.

Examinations have established the true circumstances of the tragedy. Forensic chemical examination showed that the blood of the driver was more than 0.8 ppm of alcohol. Autotechnical examination determined that at the time of the accident, the speed of the car was at least 91.3 km / h. At the same time, the driver ignored the road signs “artificial unevenness” and “limiting the maximum speed of 40 km / h”.

In addition, the investigation found out that none of those in the cabin were not fastened with seat belts – that is why the young people were thrown out of the car.

Taking into account the collected evidence, the actions of an 18-year-old driver are qualified under Part 4 of Art. 317 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus - a violation of traffic rules by a person driving a vehicle in a state of alcoholic intoxication, which entailed, through negligence, the infliction of serious bodily harm. With the sanction of the prosecutor, a preventive measure in the form of detention was applied to the defendant. The criminal investigation is completed.
