In the Almaty region, a Chevrolet Cobalt collided with two underage pedestrians. The accident occurred on September 4 at approximately 18:20 on the territory of the Nuria residential complex in the village of Besagash, Talgar district. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
The car was driven by a 25-year-old driver. According to police, he was held accountable.
Incident details
As a result of the accident, both children sustained various bodily injuries. After the incident, they were taken to a medical facility where they received necessary assistance. According to eyewitnesses, after being hit, the girl was unconscious.
Police appeal
Following the incident, the Police Department of the Almaty region urged drivers to strictly follow traffic rules, especially in residential areas where children may be present.
"The safety of every road user directly depends on the attentiveness and responsibility of drivers," the police emphasized.
Additional information
Earlier it became known that the Ministry of Internal Affairs' "smart" cameras began detecting 23 types of traffic violations.
The circumstances of the incident are being clarified. Law enforcement agencies are conducting investigative measures. This case once again reminds of the need for increased attention from drivers to children, especially in courtyard areas.
The police also recommend that parents conduct conversations with children about safe behavior on the road. The incident has caused a wide public resonance and is actively discussed on social networks.
It is worth noting that preventive measures to prevent road accidents are regularly carried out in the region. However, as practice shows, the irresponsibility of some drivers leads to tragic consequences.
Currently, all details of what happened are being established. Measures taken against the driver have not yet been reported, but the police confirmed that he was brought to responsibility.
This case highlights the importance of observing speed limits near residential areas. Children often cannot adequately assess the road situation, so drivers should be especially vigilant.
According to police, weather conditions at the time of the accident were clear, and the road surface was dry. These factors will be taken into account when determining the driver's guilt. Experts believe that installing speed limit signs and speed bumps in residential complexes is effective in preventing such incidents.
Activists also urge relevant authorities to take additional measures to improve road safety. This incident raises the issue of road safety not only in the Almaty region but also across the country.
In recent years, Kazakhstan has been taking various measures to reduce the number of road accidents. One of them is the introduction of "smart" cameras capable of recording 23 types of violations. However, the presence of technical means should not reduce the responsibility of drivers.
Every driver must remember that while driving, they are responsible not only for their own life but also for the lives of others. This case is another confirmation of that. We urge all drivers to strictly follow traffic rules and be extremely careful in places where children may appear.
Information about the condition of the injured children has not yet been disclosed. It is reported that they received all necessary assistance at the medical facility. Official data on their condition may be provided later.
The police continue investigative actions. After establishing all circumstances, additional information will be published. We urge readers to trust only official sources.
