The third grader ran across the road in the dark and fell under the wheels on Podvoisky

The traffic police of the Nevsky district on November 7 organized an inspection of an accident with the participation of a third grader. The accident happened at Podvoisky. This is reported by the press service of the GU MIA of Russia in St. Petersburg and Leningrad region.

The incident occurred on November 6 at six p.m. The driver for 29 years moved along the street Podvoisky in the direction of Nerchinskaya. At the same time, a 9-year-old boy decided to cross the road in the wrong place - there were no adults with him, and the child was dressed in dark tones, so it was extremely difficult to notice him. As a result, the man hit the child, and the boy was hospitalized with injuries in serious condition.

In 2026, the driver was brought to administrative responsibility five times for traffic violations under articles about the operation of a car with malfunctions and driving without rights. The police are checking.
