There was a very strong wind." The Chelyabinsk authorities are investigating the fall of a traffic light on a child. The girl came home from school and managed to raise her hands; The metal structure touched her head tangentially a few inches from her eye, the victim's mother told Oral Mash. In the emergency room, the schoolgirl was diagnosed with a cheek wound. The girl's mother added that this is not the first time the traffic light has fallen. The administration of Chelyabinsk told the publication "Podium" that the day before, strong winds raged in the city, as in other settlements of the Urals, and residents were asked to stay away from unstable buildings. "Yesterday we had very strong winds in almost all cities in the Urals: trees, unsecured buildings, part of the road infrastructure fell, it really happened. But we had no information that a person, much less a child, was injured during this incident. Information about this appeared only in the media. We understand it now. Let's see why it doesn't fall the first time. But, to be honest, there was a very strong wind, and we actually warned and asked to stay away from unsecured buildings. Well, obviously one kid probably couldn't find his way around. We are checking everything now, in any case we will fully understand the situation." The administration added that the fallen traffic light has already been replaced. The mayor's office stated that in general "it is a temporary structure installed for the purpose of making a detour in connection with road works". The girl's mother, meanwhile, as they write on the Internet, contacted the police and the prosecutor's office.
