In Zabaikalsk, a girl driving her father's car hit a pedestrian and crashed into a truck

Accident in Zabaikalsk

In Zabaikalsk, an underage girl who got behind the wheel of her father's car hit a pedestrian and crashed into a parked truck. This was reported by the Telegram channel [1]. According to the source, the accident happened back in August: the child ran over a person, after which the car collided with a truck. The pedestrian sustained injuries of moderate severity.

The father's responsibility

A criminal case has been opened against the father who handed over control of the car to the child, and the case materials have already been sent to court. Thus, this is not about plans but about a decision already made: the case has reached the judicial stage. Handing over control to a person without a driving license is precisely the action that, in such situations, is charged against the vehicle owner; at the same time, sources do not specify the girl's age, the circumstances under which she ended up behind the wheel, or the victim's current condition.

Context: other accidents

In the same piece, the outlet recalls other accidents. For instance, in Saint Petersburg a collision occurred between a police Hyundai Solaris and a car-sharing Volkswagen Polo: according to Gazeta.Ru: the patrol car crashed into the right side of the car-sharing vehicle — the Solaris has a smashed front end, with the bumper, hood and radiator grille damaged, while the Volkswagen has a broken right front fender, a dented passenger door and a knocked-out front wheel [2]. It was previously reported that the first footage from the scene of that incident had emerged [3]. This is a separate accident, unrelated to the crash in Zabaikalsk.
