An accident near the Suburban Pokrovka claimed two lives: a motorcyclist died on the spot, the driver of Gazelle – four days later
(18+) In the evening of September 18, the Gazelle and the Kawasaki motorcycle collided near Suburban Pokrovka
What is known about the accident
The driver of the “Gazelle” began to rebuild on the roadway when he “catch up” the motorcycle. It is possible that the speed of the motorcyclist was so high that the 53-year-old driver simply did not have time to notice his approach. The outcome of the proceedings will determine whether the fault of one of the drivers or mutual.
How did the Gazelle driver feel
That day turned black for him. According to relatives and colleagues, he was grieving the death of a person and probably blamed only himself - without even waiting for the results of the proceedings.
The man worked for many years at the Orenburg radiator plant. In July of this year, he resigned by agreement of the parties and almost immediately got a job as a driver in another company. Colleagues speak of him as a professional, responsible and neat on the road.
Second tragedy
On the night of Tuesday, September 22, the man's wife was worried: he went to the entrance two hours ago and did not return. She went to look for him and found a body nearby, between the houses. The man killed himself.
Why is it important to talk about this
This story is not about one accident, but about what happens after it. The accident on the road has a second, invisible circle of consequences - the psychological state of the participants. A man who was not considered guilty officially took the blame and could not stand it. And this raises the question of who is being helped to survive such situations, not only by the victims and their families, but also by those who are left behind.
Citizens' opinion:
Proceedings on the fact of the accident has not yet been completed, but for the driver of the “Gazelle” it did not matter – he pronounced his sentence before the trial. Such cases show how important it is that people in such situations have available psychological help. Formally, no one is obliged to offer it, but without it, the cost of an accident can be twice as high.
The editors offer their sincere condolences to both families.
