The Łuków policemen determine the circumstances of the accident that occurred last night in Mizary. The 60-year-old has hit the Audi car. The man died as a result of injuries at the scene of the incident. The policemen determined that the walking path did not have any reflective materials.
Yesterday before 7:00 PM the officer of the Łuków command received a notification about a road incident that occurred in Mizary. The application showed that he was hit by an Audi car on the road. The policemen who arrived at the scene of the accident learned that he had suffered extensive bodily injury and died at the scene of the incident.
He moved without reflective clothing
The uniformed workers working on the accident site stated that the incident occurred on a stretch of road outside the built-up area, in a place where there was no street lighting anymore. Preliminary findings indicate that the aggrieved pedestrian, a 60-year-old from the commune of Stockist Malinowski, was on the road and had no reflective elements.
The officers determined that the 61-year-old resident of the Daywear municipality was driving sober. Now, policemen under the supervision of the Prosecutor will conduct an investigation to determine the exact course and circumstances of the tragic event.
Police officers are appealing for wearing reflectors
Many people still do not realize that the lack of reflective elements threatens their safety on the road. Cyclist or pedestrian moving around after dark, on an unlit road, causes a big threat.
He is dressed in dark clothing, without glare, and is seen by the driver of the vehicle from a distance of about 40 meters. However, a walking person wearing reflective tapes becomes visible even from a distance of 150 meters. These extra meters allow the driver to slow down and safely bypass the pedestrian. So let’s follow the rules, let’s protect our lives and health, just wear reflections!
