In the court case held in the city of Vladimir, a taxi driver from Uzbekistan was sentenced to 9 years in prison. The court found him guilty of a road traffic accident that caused the death of two teenagers, aged 18 and 17. The Lenin District Court made this decision, linking the driver's actions to negligence and cruelty.
This is a situation that will break the heart of any parent. The incident occurred on the night of April 27, 2025. The driver, who was operating a Hyundai Solaris, exceeded the speed limit and struck the teenagers on a pedestrian crossing. The 18-year-old boy and 17-year-old girl, who were crossing the road, did not have time to survive. The girl died at the scene, and the boy passed away in the hospital a few days later.
According to the investigation, the driver admitted his crime and was held accountable. In accordance with part "b" of Article 264 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, he was found guilty of a "road traffic accident that resulted in the death of two people due to negligence."
The court decision has not yet entered into force and may be reviewed by a higher court. This case shows how strictly the law can act against those who violate it.
