A tragic accident occurred late at night on December 13 to 14, where a taxi driver lost his life after crashing his vehicle against a concrete barrier on Tereshkova Street, Kemerovo. The incident, reported by the Kemerovo traffic police, has drawn attention due to its suddenness and the unfortunate outcome.
According to preliminary reports, the Hyundai Solaris was moving from Oktyabrsky Avenue toward Prityomskiy Avenue when the driver apparently lost control of the car. The vehicle crashed headlong straight onto the dividing concrete barrier, which unfortunately led to devastating consequences.
Witnesses describe how the impact was sudden and intense, leaving the single occupant of the vehicle with no chance of survival. Emergency services were contacted immediately, but the driver succumbed to his injuries at the scene before medical assistance could arrive. The local traffic authorities confirmed, "В результате аварии водитель скончался на месте ДТП до прибытия бригады скорой медицинской помощи," indicating the tragic outcome of this unfortunate event.
This incident has raised concerns about road safety and the importance of adhering to traffic regulations, particularly during nighttime hours when visibility may be compromised. Traffic police have stated, "Предварительно установлено, что водитель Hyundai Solaris двигался со стороны проспекта Октябрьского в направлении проспекта Притомского, не справился с управлением, вследствие чего произвёл наезд на бетонное разделительное ограждение." This highlights the need for drivers to remain vigilant and responsible behind the wheel.
The local community is mourning the loss of the driver, whose identity has yet to be disclosed. The authorities are also investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident to understand the contributing factors and if any external influences played a role, such as road conditions or vehicle maintenance.
With Kemerovo authorities urging all drivers to exercise utmost caution, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictability of road travel and the tragic outcomes of accidents. The traffic police are conducting follow-up investigations to gather more details and prevent similar events in the future.
Until then, the Kemerovo region remains shaken by this incident, and the local community reflects on the delicate nature of life on the road. Such tragedies underline the need for collective responsibility among both drivers and pedestrians to contribute to safer road conditions for everyone.
