Crossing the street on the belts do not guarantee safety.

In the morning around 6:00 am on Pulaski Street in Stochastic there was a tragic deduction of a pedestrian. He passed in a designated place. He died on the spot. The driver of the A3 Audi, driving towards the Monte Casino Heroes Avenue, struck a man passing by at the height of the PKP Stardom station through a pedestrian crossing. The 38-year-old Audi driver was sober.

The details, causes, and circumstances of this tragic event are now explained by the police officers from the criminal department, together with the prosecutor.

The police are appealing for wearing reflective tapes

The use of reflective elements especially in autumn and winter, when it is dark early and visibility is definitely worse, can save our lives. Therefore, wearing reflective clothing by pedestrians should become a habit. Pursuant to the Road Traffic Law, pedestrians who move along the road after dark outside the built-up area are obliged to use reflective elements in a manner visible to other road users.

Correctly worn reflective materials should be placed in such a place that they are in the field of car lights and visible to drivers coming in from both directions (from the back and the front). If you attach a reflective element to the backpack (on the back of the silhouette) it is obvious that it will not be noticed by drivers coming from the opposite direction and vice avers when the reflection will be only in front, the driver behind us will not see him. It is safe to have two reflective elements one at the front and the other at the back or to use such types of reflections that can be seen from both sides, for example, reflective tapes.
