Pedestrian dies after being hit by a car in Tashkent

In Tashkent, a pedestrian hit by a Chevrolet Onix in the Utepa district has died. This was reported by the Millar program, with details provided by the capital's police department and an eyewitness to the incident.

Circumstances of the accident

According to the Tashkent Police Department, the accident occurred on October 22 at around 15:00 on Khai Street. A 20-year-old driver hit a citizen who was crossing the road at an unregulated pedestrian crossing. The victim was taken to hospital by ambulance.

Information about the victim and the aftermath

As responsible officers of the road traffic accident prevention department of the Police Department told the Millar program, despite the medical care provided at the hospital, the victim died. According to a witness the program spoke with, the victim was a 20-year-old second-year student. An investigation into the incident is underway. The program also reported that after the accident, a traffic light was installed at this section to ensure traffic safety.

Why this matters

The case shows that even at a pedestrian crossing — even an unregulated one — crossing the road remains dangerous, and both sides bear responsibility for safety. For residents of the district, the practical outcome was the installation of a traffic light at the accident site, which should bring order to traffic in this section. For drivers and pedestrians, the incident serves as a reminder of the risks at unregulated crossings, and the outcome of the investigation will show whether the driver will be held accountable.
