In Bukhara, a driver of special equipment ran over a retired person to death, with the press service of the provincial police department reporting of launching a criminal case.
The terrible tragedy occurred yesterday on May 15 near the market in downtown Bukhara. The driver of an excavator, moving along Ibn Sino street, did not notice 64-year-old woman who was crossing the road in the wrong place.
A criminal case has been launched under Violation of traffic safety rules or operation of vehicles) charge of the Criminal Code, with preliminary investigation underway. The offender faces up to 7 years in prison.
In Uzbekistan If a driver hits a pedestrian, by default it gets 100% of the responsibility and blame for the crash, damages and cost. This never changes even if it is fully the pedestrian’s fault.
The reality is that cars are just not particularly safe in the infrastructure in any country, not mentioning the quality of roads in Uzbek provinces.
