In Tashkent, a Li 9 car killed a pedestrian crossing the road in an unauthorized place

The pedestrian died at the scene of the accident

In the Yashnabad district of Tashkent, on November 1 at around 17:45, a pedestrian was struck and killed. According to the Traffic Safety Department of the capital's city police department, the driver, Yu. M., born in 2004, who was driving a LiXiang Li 9, hit a pedestrian born in 1985 on TKAD Street opposite the Kuylyuk construction market. The man was crossing the road in an unauthorized place and died at the scene. This was reported by Daryo.uz and Zamon.uz citing the capital's police.

An investigation is underway

Regarding the accident, responsible officers of the Traffic Safety Department of the Tashkent city police department are carrying out investigative actions. The outlets do not report whether a case has been opened or any other measures taken — at the time of publication, only the circumstances of the incident as described by the police were known.

A similar case a week earlier

This is already the second fatal pedestrian accident in Tashkent reported by the outlets in the past two weeks: on October 22, a 20-year-old woman who was crossing the road at a pedestrian crossing was hit by an Onix car and died in hospital. Unlike that case, the victim of the new accident was a pedestrian crossing outside a designated crossing, and death occurred at the scene rather than in hospital.
