Details have become known about an accident with three deaths in the Minsk region.
- This morning, on the P-43 highway in the Starodorozhesky district, a 21-year-old driver of a Mercedes minibus involved in the transport of Market Place drove into the oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a road train. The two drivers and the 19-year-old passenger of the minibus died at the scene of the accident.
The details of the tragedy point to a systemic disregard for basic safety standards. In the past, the reasons for the incident could have been a violation of the work and rest schedule, the technical condition of the vehicle and excessive speed.
Also, the 21-year-old driver was repeatedly brought to administrative responsibility for serious violations: a decision was made against him to deprive him of the right to drive, which was supposed to take effect on November 24. It is worth noting that the road train driver was not wearing a seat belt.
- By the way, it was proven that an ancillary factor to the road accident yesterday in the Gomel area in which a Nativ vehicle was involved was also the violation of the work and rest regime by the driver transporting cargo.
The state traffic control will inform all the authorities involved in the control of the state's traffic about the current situation. Together with the transport inspectorate and other interested departments, steps will be taken to radically strengthen the supervision of the carriers' compliance with traffic safety laws.
