On the night of January 8 in Barnaul, at the intersection of North-West and Smirnov, a car hit a pedestrian to death. Eyewitnesses of the accident in the comments of the public “Incident Barnaul” say that the car rushed at high speed and did not even have time to slow down. The pedestrian died at the scene.
After the incident in public, a dispute broke out – who is to blame: the driver or a pedestrian?
“Sorry for the driver. At night, pedestrians without reflective vests are very difficult to see and not leave the car in one second. This is forgotten.”
“Generally not sorry for the driver! It is necessary to slow down in front of a pedestrian!”
“How much could he fly? Our roads have not been cleaned since October, my navigator has an average speed of 20 km per hour!”
“Normal roads! Not perfect, but the car slows down normally if you don’t fly 80! Before pedestrians need to slow down for your own good!”
Barnaul noted that the road section, where the fatal accident occurred, is notoriety – accidents often happen here.
“They constantly fly there, despite the cameras!”
In the North-West from Yurin to the 80th Guards, few drivers leave to go on pedestrians. Sometimes 10-15 cars will pass before someone stops. Wines are always only on the driver. He manages a means of increased danger. You do not know how to slow down before a pedestrian crossing, sell your car and go public!
A year ago there was the same tragic situation, there was a dialogue with a woman. I told her that it was a road, not a sidewalk, to which she replied to me – I was tired, I was leaving work and I do not care. Hence the conclusion – the salvation of the drowning, the handiwork of the drowning. Do not judge strictly, but we have winter and it is easier for a person to miss the car than to stop the car. In no case, I do not deny the guilt of the driver, but first of all, you need to take care of yourself!
One of the commentators, in order to avoid such cases, suggested the use of reflective materials:
“Reflective tapes of clothing in the dark can save your life. They cost a penny, but life has no price,” writes Mikhail Medynin.
