The mother of the perpetrator despairs after the tragedy

The prosecutor applied for a temporary detention for a 42-year-old who drunk into a 55-year-old cyclist without any safety equipment. A dramatic accident occurred at night from 26 to 27 May.

Manes S. († 55 years old) was found by her unconscious husband. Her husband found her on May 27, 7.45. The woman was still breathing, but she was not in contact. Her spouse immediately called for an ambulance, but despite resuscitation, she was unable to save her.

 

This content appealed to the daughter of a woman on the social network:

“Please help!!!! He killed my mother on Mother’s Day – help us find him!!!

On the night of Friday, 26.05 / 27.05, around midnight in New Soothe, my car hit my mom who was coming back from work on a bicycle.

The perpetrator ran away from the accident!

The bike was lit and mom was wearing a reflective vest. She returned from work with Gabo, drove 10 km, and her last 300 m to her home…

The car was moving from Stare Socotra towards Kuban.

On the road there are no signs of braking!!!!!!!!

On the roadside you can see traces of wheels…

 

As a result of my deduction, my mother suffered an open fracture of her left leg and bleeding in a ditch until dawn, when an aid, ambulance, helicopter arrived. I do not even want to think how much she suffered for 8 hours in the ditch….

Unfortunately it was too late!!!!

And if he stopped, he called for help Mom could live!!!!!!!!

There was a part of the bumper, a cracked lamp that the Police had secured.

If you know anything about the matter, you have seen a car with a broken lamp, broken bumper – Please contact me or the Police! ”

 

At the scene of the accident the police and the prosecutor worked. Investigators on the road, the shoulder and the ditch found elements from an unknown vehicle. They also asked about the local residents. – It was established that the association with the event may have a Volkswagen golf-driving vehicle that was probably headed by a 42-year-old man. It was stopped. All indications are that the critical night, in the company of other men, consumed alcohol. But he did not want to undergo an alkahest study. Blood samples were taken and the results will be known in the near future, “said Krzysztof Korana in reflective clothing, spokesman for the District Prosecutor’s Office in Lodz.

The prosecutor applied to the court for his temporary detention. At the Department of Forensic Medicine in Lodz on Tuesday, May 30, there will be a woman’s corpse section. Its results will allow a detailed diagnosis of the scale of injuries and the cause of death. It is likely that the woman for a few hours after the deduction, without the help of other people, with serious injuries lying in the ditch. The identified open fracture indicates bleeding. The expert also does not exclude head injuries – says pros.

How to prepare for your trip with safety

Are you leaving for the first time on a long journey? You do not know how to prepare safety equipment? What to pack? How to check the car? We will help you to safely reach your holiday destination.

 

Before you start thinking about holiday madness, you should properly prepare your car for a long journey. Because of the security of you and your passengers’ safety, it is important not to ignore some basic issues.

 

First and foremost, you should examine the technical condition of the car. It is not as difficult as it may seem. It is advisable to check and, if necessary, make up the consumables, as well as inspect the braking system and suspension. Also, do not forget about the proper lighting settings. When you pack your car to the roof, the lights can hurt other drivers. Finally, check the tire condition and tire pressure.

 

More and more people are forgetting to check the validity of the insurance and the registration review, which can end up with an unpleasant surprise and a loss of part of the holiday budget. When traveling abroad, you also need to familiarize yourself with the obligatory car accessories (triangle, reflective vest, etc.) required in the country to which we are going and in all we will be traveling. Some countries also require you to take out special insurance – do not forget about it!

 

Dangerous luggage

Technical condition of the car checked, all the necessary papers have been sorted – time to pack! Many people have no idea how to lay luggage inside a vehicle. This is a big mistake. Incorrectly placed luggage can be deadly in case of sudden braking or collision. Even with a suitably large trunk it is important to seriously consider the arrangement of suitcases. With the right organization, you will not only save more space, but you will also be safe.

 

How do you pack your bags? First of all, limit the number of things in the car cabin. Any unsecured item in the event of a sudden event can become dangerous, so it is important to follow the principle that the luggage space is in the trunk. This also applies to the shelves separating the cab from the boot – absolutely no lightweight items can be placed here. Start packing the heaviest bags and suitcases by placing them on the bottom, as close as possible to the front of the boot. When packing, you can also use the storage compartments beneath the floor of the boot to save space and further reduce the center of gravity of the car.

 

The next luggage is laid on the principle of “pyramid:” the base forms the largest and heaviest suitcases, and on the next floors is getting lighter packages. You need to take this into account when packing, so that in the largest bags put things you need only in place and in small items that may come in handy during the trip. Then the luggage containing the things you need can be placed on the top of the pyramid so you have easy access to it. The most necessary things that need to be in the cabin must be secured with safety belts, handles, head restraints, or under the seat.

 

Proper packaging of luggage is not enough. It is important that the driver is rested and rested so that he can easily concentrate on the road. Even if the place you go to is not foreign to you and the route is well known, you should trust navigation. Especially during the holiday season it may be necessary (due to traffic and numerous repairs and related detours).

 

When the car is properly prepared and well planned for breaks, the trip will be safe and not too tiring. Just remember to hurry and be careful on the road. Then nothing will break the holiday rest.

 

Reflective vest halves the risk of accident

During the dark months of the year, the number of traffic jams increases. Although a reflective vest halves the risk of accident, two out of three Swedes go without. Young is the worst in using reflexes. Forgetting and vanity is said to be the main reason. Together with the BACK fashion brand, if the Reflex Collection, Watch Your Back, is now launching to broaden the term reflex and erase the stamp.

 

A survey from the insurance company If shows that Swedes are the worst in the Nordic countries to use reflexes. Nearly two out of three people (63 percent) never wear or even reflect reflexes when they are out in the dark. At least, the use of young people, where more than seven out of ten people between 18 and 29 years old, make up for forgetfulness and vanity as the main reason.

To make more people appear in the dark, now If, in collaboration with BACK, launches a reflex collection.

 

“Almost everybody knows that you should have reflexes in the dark, but you do not have it. Through this collaboration we want to find a new solution to that problem. My hope is that with this initiative we can inspire more clothing brands and individuals to begin experimenting with stylish clothes that are visible in the dark, “says Katarina Moulin, Communications Manager at If.

 

The reflex collection consists of outerwear and accessories made in a reflective material. Here you can see the film that shows how the garment shines in the dark.

Behind the design stands the fashion label BACK as 2013 named Designer of the Year at Elle-Galan and is currently a prize winner of the prestigious design award Torstein and Wanda Overberg’s award.

 

“With great creative ability and courage to always dare to think new, BACK felt like a good partner,” says Katarina Moulin.

Ann-Sofia Back, Design Manager at BACK, was directly involved in collaboration.

“I’ve always been inspired by phenomena I’m having trouble for, this time its functional gear / material. And as a dog owner, I’m walking a lot in the dark, it’s ridiculous if you do not see it, says Ann-Sofia Back, designer and founder of BACK.

 

The reflective collection will be available on 24 November, and will be sold at Alpaca, Sneakers stuff, Ahlen City, Ted & Teresa, and at StyleBy.nu/shop and at BACK’s web shop.

The runners ask motorists to take their cars to the point

The technical state of the vehicles worries the popular Spanish runners. And is that poor conservation a risk factor for runners even with safety vest, who live and share with the use of the road network.

 

This is one of the main conclusions of the Race of the 2016 Workshop. Led by the Association of Workshops of Madrid, whose motto is “For road safety from the responsible maintenance of the vehicle”, includes the updated guide «Run Between cars: tips for the pedestrian runner and responsible motorist »prepared by ASETRA, Stop Accidents and the Macomb Foundation. Each year, more than 11,000 pedestrian crossings and 5,800 traffic accidents involving cyclists are involved in Spain.

 

Train between well-maintained cars

Running is a healthy habit however not risk free if done close to cars. What do the popular riders think of their habits when training together and sharing motorists with the road network? How do they assess the state of the vehicles with which they intersect at intersections such as pedestrian crossings, exits from garages or traffic lights?

 

The above mentioned guide lists the most dangerous factors for these athletes when they run alongside the road traffic, either in cities or outside. “Running between cars” examines, among others, the importance of wearing reflective clothing, the convenience of not running headphones and music when approaching intersections with vehicles or the effect on the perception of the risk that fatigue causes on the runners. But, undoubtedly, the most relevant data arise from the survey conducted by the corridors themselves.

– 60% are aware of being a very special type of pedestrian when training in forced coexistence with road traffic

– Many do not aide the minimum precautions to guarantee their safety in intersections like pedestrian crossings, with or without semaphore, and exits of garages. Even those who in two-way ways do not value the importance of moving on the left shoulder

– Most runners in reflective vest still think it’s better to run down the road than on the sidewalk. This is because they suffer fewer joints, although the risk of abuse increases exponentially

– More than 90% are clear that, in case of crossing a vehicle, it must go at the appropriate speed to the track and be in perfect maintenance conditions, especially with regard to brakes, tires and shock absorbers.

 

 

Pedestrians have their share of responsibility in road safety

Although it is the drivers who have to take precautions and be aware that they carry a dangerous machine, pedestrians also have their share of responsibility in road safety. And they do not always do. The number of pedestrians who cross inappropriate places or do when traffic lights are red is alarming, and yet the sanctions imposed by the Conceals on pedestrians are anecdotal. In fact, the fines are so exceptional that often the passers-by themselves do not know that their behavior can be penalized. However, it is. The Traffic Law, which was last updated only a few months ago, includes not only the rules of circulation that must be respected by drivers, but also those that must be followed by people walking, as well as the penalties for punishing those who Do not meet

 

Crossing the street outside the pedestrian crossings or walking along the roadway when there is a pedestrian area suitable for doing so can be penalized with a fine of 80 Euros. That same amount can impose the security forces to those who do not walk by the left outside the urban area or to those who circulate by highway or highway. Meanwhile, skipping a red light can cost 200 Euros. Under the new law, pedestrians are required to undergo alcohol or drug checks if they are involved in an accident or if they have committed an offense. In this case, if the result of these tests is positive, the fine can reach 1,000 Euros, and there will also be a penalty if the pedestrian refuses to submit to the controls. According to data from the General Directorate of Traffic, one in five pedestrians without any reflective vest struck during the year 2014 had consumed alcohol.

 

Also according to DGT data, between 40 and 50% of the abuses that occur in Galicia are due to infractions of the pedestrians themselves, who often forget that they are the weakest element in the road. Despite this, opinions on the timing of fines are found. In front of those who bet on the pedagogical value of the sanctions are those who believe that, especially if we speak of urban environments, the priority of pedestrians is above all else. This supposes that there was no sanction here, nor is there any provision for it, “explains a spokesman for this Council, adding that it is also not foreseen to make” campaigns to dire the peons, given that the city of Monteverdi is two citizens, and not two vehicles’.

 

Daniel Micelle, chief of the Local Police of this conceal, thinks that “peons obviously dye to respect the rule and make or dye to do”, but in his opinion “if the drivers pay due attention and moderate speed, this would change shrub. Caquetá of those that we take a car in the man’s we know that we can cater to nail persona, so Mellor raise or foot of the accelerator and pone to as much attention possible.

 

As in Monteverdi, Orense, a city in which the alarm has been alarmed by the high number of abuses, imposed fines last year on pedestrians for improper crossing. In order to deal with accidents, the Connell and Administrations with competencies in traffic agreed last week to reinforce the presence of Local Police officers in the street and to develop awareness campaigns on road safety.

 

In A Corunna, a total of 70 pedestrian fines were processed throughout 2015, although only three of them were due to infractions such as not crossing the pedestrian without wearing safety vest and crossing or crossing the red traffic light. The other sanctions concerned the carrying out of invasive activities that endangered people and circulation. In Ferrol complaints are dealt with in serious cases, such as the recent one of a person who did not pass through the pedestrian crossing and that when the agents caught his attention he not only crossed equally, but they lacked respect. In recent years in this city has imposed a fine per year to pedestrians.

A man without reflective clothing is killed by a car

According to the first data, the deadly crash happened on Thursday night on the N-121-A road linking Pamplona and France to Begonia could have occurred when the deceased man crossed the road at night, without reflective clothing.

 

O.G.F, a 43-year-old man from Cantabria, who was driving a truck on the N-121-A, in municipality, between this town and Sunbelt, was killed by a vehicle. The event took place near midnight, about 23.55 on Thursday. The driver of the car that was driving this man is a 19-year-old neighbor of municipality.

 

Crossing the road

Early indications indicate that the man, who was driving a truck, parked the vehicle on the right side of the road. Apparently, he wanted to cross the national road where the events took place on the other side of the road, where there is a gas station.

The driver of the car may not have seen the truck driver crossing the road, which caused the vehicle to hit him.

 

Everything seems to indicate that the deceased was not wearing reflective vest. The young man who was driving, a neighbor, was negative in all the tests that have been practiced, both alcohol and drug. Despite the impact, he was unscathed after the fatal accident.

 

Up to the scene of the events were patrols of the Provincial Police and Pamplona Road Safety as well as the team of attestations investigating the causes of the attack? That point of the N-121-A road between Donate and Sunbelt is complicated because truckers frequently park their vehicle on one side of the road and are often seen to cross on foot. The three lanes of the causeway and walk a stretch along the shoulder, until passing to the gas station and restaurant located on the other side. This is not the first time that a fatal attack has occurred near that point.

 

 

Children have the right to safety

At the sports weekend, many parents take smaller or larger children with them. If they see how their descendant is rushing on a mountain bike with wooded hillside, they should remember that they were definitely doing something like that. Where else would the wild blood be taken…?

There are, therefore, a few principles that parents should explore before embarking on adventures with their children.

 

How to do it-Use safety aids!

Adults should ensure that the child uses all safety equipment: on roller skates and skateboards, elbow, knee and wrist protectors as well as a helmet. The helmet and the waistcoat on the water is required, Cycling helmet, gloves, reflective tapes and reflectors.

 

Besides buying adult aids, children should check and use them as an example.

The helmet is necessary!

The suspicions that a child with a helmet loses a self-preservation bike do not rely on the truth. They say he does not even protect himself in a car crash. And even you can strangle the tape under your chin. In addition, it is hot and the baby gets sunburn. None of that is true.

The helmet and reflective vest is like a car seat belt. She has already saved life for many cyclists, but it may happen that in some unlikely moments the situation will worsen.

 

Learn to swim!

It is said that children who are just learning to swim are drowning and are therefore deeper. This is not true, and medical statistics speak the opposite. Basics of swimming will help everyone get warm up at least for a while. In addition, the baby will not cry when his head unexpectedly gets under water, for example, in swimming pool games or jumping into the water.

 

Do not delay the floating vest!

In water sports, the child must have a float vest. Get on a raft, canoe, or sail. Falling into the water or even overturning the boat is a shock for an adult, let alone a child. The float vest will help with rescue, especially in the first moments when the “float” is brought to the surface.

 

It is said that under the jeep vest will make it impossible to save. In this one special case, it is true, but without a safety vest, only very experienced water boys attempt to self-preserve in the hopeless situation on a strong cylinder, from which they cannot get other than his underlining at the bottom. But it rarely succeeds.

 

Police respond the plan for city safety

Today, the guest of the online interview of the Boleslaw was Chief of the Police of the Republic of Poland, who wear a reflective uniform. The readers asked him not only why he was interested in the position, but also about what changes in the city he is planning.

 

How do you like the position of Chief of the City Police? As far as I know, you worked as a line guard before, so that’s probably a big difference…

The work I’m doing now is very interesting, but it’s also challenging. Yesterday before I was elected to the City Police Chief and subsequently appointed by the city council, I worked for seventeen years as a line guard. The difference in both positions is that I have a greater responsibility in this position. This means not only communication with citizens within the service, but also a lot of administrative activity (budget, services breakdowns, etc.) and communication with city management.

 

The city police in Munich Hardiest had never had a good reputation according to citizens. Is it true? And what have you done to improve it?

As in any other city, there will be people who will be dissatisfied with the work of the city police, but I think most of the people who can appreciate our work predominate. Therefore, to improve, we have done a few things. For example, security precautions for children and pensioners are taking place, we have set up a Facebook profile to allow police officers to communicate at any time, staffing has also been modernized, and overall we are trying to improve the view of the city police.

 

I heard you’ll get one more policeman and reflective vest, so you should be nine if I’m wrong. Is this the optimal number for you or would you need the officers even more? Yes, at the present time, a tender for the position of a police officer is announced. The number of officers should therefore increase to nine. In order for the city police to manage what is required and what they want to do, the optimal number of officers would be at least twelve. The main reason for the increase in the number of police officers is that we want to keep the traffic uninterrupted; another reason is the large cadastral territory and the ever-increasing traffic in the city. It is also necessary to devote more time to preventive action.

 

Recently, a group of people we are afraid of at the train station at the train station. In the summer, we always went out for a walk with the kids, but now we prefer to go elsewhere. Please make this site safe again.

The officers devote themselves equally to all the parks in the city. Their checks are carried out at regular intervals. Currently we do not see this site as dangerous, but it is possible that you could see this site as dangerous beforehand due to the occurrence of so-called problem people, but we have succeeded in eliminating this site from our site.

 

Why did you apply for a new Chief of Police at the Tender? There is a lot of talk about the fact that the new composition of the town hall has great demands on the officers, and that’s why your predecessor ended.

It is true that the current management of the city places great demands on me and the officers, but I am not competent to express myself to my predecessor. I have enrolled in the selection facility to improve the overall view of our city police.

 

Are you getting in the new position in the field, or are you shut down in the office and you’re doing clerical work, or maybe in the service you jump off colleagues when they cannot?

It is true that the new position requires me to devote more attention to administrative work, but I still try to work in the field. And since the number of officers is low, I normally have to do the work of a line guard.

We are currently preparing a contract for the provision of radar for speed measurement and we will try to start measuring the speed of the vehicles as soon as possible.

 

How often do you check the city area? Sometimes I see that if you arrive, you just slow down and you will not get out of the car. I understand that the cadastral territory you are in charge of is vast and you cannot be everywhere, but it does not avoid criminal activities in the villages.

Compared to the previous period, the police officers started to drive more often to suburban areas, three times a week. Control is preventive if the officers do not record offense, so they check this area only from the vehicle, but sometimes these areas are also walking

 

I heard you got new uniforms. What’s different and why the original ones were not enough? What did you do with the old ones?

Yes, we have new uniforms. It varies with its functionality, material and appearance. The policeman feels more comfortable in this uniform; the new uniform is multifunctional and meets all the requirements that a police officer can spend twelve hours in this facility. Old uniforms did not fulfill their functionality, parts of equipment such as jackets and shoes are still being used. Shirts and trousers, neckties were removed.

 

It is almost entirely the rule that new leadership always introduces changes. Will you also change things or have you changed? What can we look forward to in the city?

Some changes have been made, they are put into practice. In the future, we are going to measure vehicle speed, carry out controls on alcohol pouring for juveniles, we will also be giving out reflective tapes, and we are going to make more frequent playground controls.

 

 

Don’t forget the reflective elements in cycling season

Police officers in the South Moravian region draw attention to the beginning of the cycling season and encourage cyclists and drivers to take extra caution. “Cyclists should use a helmet that can save lives in an accident,” Becalm police spokesman Kamala told CTK today. With reduced visibility, it is necessary to use reflective elements to see the cyclist, added Hedonic police spokesman Petri.

 

Every year, police in South Moravia record hundreds of bicycle accidents. “Last year there were 257 bicycle accidents in the region, three cyclists died, and 28 were a child,” said regional police spokesman Petra Verona. According to police statistics, cyclists (along with pedestrians and motorcyclists) on the roads are the most vulnerable. Bicycle rides everyone, but not everyone realizes that when he goes on the road, he becomes a full-fledged road user.

 

That is why police officers appeal to all road users to keep in mind the increased movement of cyclists on the roads. “It is necessary to count on this and to be mutually beneficial to each other.” Drivers should be anticipating and expecting unusual behavior by cyclists, and people on bicycles should have the right equipment, “said Locker.

 

More important than a helmet is passive safety

Karat warned that every cyclist should have a helmet and a safety vest. “It is clear from practice that if a cyclist is involved in an accident, he will at best cope with slight injuries.” Although the law imposes an obligation to wear helmets to cyclists under the age of 18, we recommend that everyone should have it, “said Karat.

 

According to the Interior Ministry, one of four serious cycling injuries is head injuries and half of all cycling accidents are hit by the rider’s head. Most serious bicycle accidents will not happen on busy roads, but on quiet side streets. Therefore, parents need to have a constant overview of where their kids are moving and to see if their children have a properly equipped bicycle and they use bicycle helmets.

 

The cycling helmet must be of an approved type and must be well clamped on its head – it must not move on its head. Each type of helmet must therefore have ATEST 8SD (product complies with ČSN EN 1078). The helmet protects not only the shoulder and forehead, but also partly the face, the temples and the ears.

 

Using a helmet is one of the ways to eliminate cycling injuries. According to research carried out in recent years by the British Royal Society for Accident Prevention (ROSPA), over 2,800 cyclists die each year on the roads of the European Union, and another 139,800 are injured.

 

The risk of injuries to cyclists can be reduced in several ways – safe driving style, adaptation of the transport environment which takes into account the presence of cyclists in the traffic flow, but also the use of quality certified cycling helmets and various protectors and gloves.

ROSPA says that if every cyclist used a cycling helmet, the risk of head injuries would be reduced by 85% and the risk of brain injuries by 88%, with around 600,000 head injuries each year in the EU due to cycling. According to professional medical literature, a concentrated blow to the head can kill the adult as soon as it falls at 11 km / h; even at a lower speed.

 

Not everyone is inclined to use the heel. According to veteran cyclist Vita, everyday life comes daily to situations where the likelihood of harm to health or life is much higher than when we cycle (for example, walking along the busiest road, stopping at the public transport stop, etc.) and nobody Wear some protective aids. “The business with fear is the easiest deal, companies know it, and most people simply do not think rationally,” believes Vita, who rides a bicycle without a helmet.

 

Much more important than a helmet and a reflective vest (passive safety) is not only active safety according to him, i.e. how to behave on a bicycle on the road, what to do in no case or when to increase vigilance. “Do not rely on the privilege of crossing the junctions, not to use unnecessarily defensive, to use hearing (not just to see), to be able to see, etc.,” says Vita. These principles are mainly highlighted in children. When parents learn this, they will do much more for their safety than buying a helmet, Vita believes.

Reflective safety clothing for Cross-country

Since the autumn is already in full swing, we’ve tested everything you need to keep you away, but they did not cook in their own juice.

The main role will be long ladies’ trousers. From the point of view, nothing interesting – black leggings. They are made of flexible hard reflective material (it is not cold and fast drying) and have a sophisticated cut, especially in the area of the knees and thighs, which makes them perfectly suited, they do not roll anywhere. In the back of the legs there is a zipper that makes them better dressed.

 

Plus, there is a small internal key pocket, money or handkerchief to solve the unpleasant question of “where to go”. Minuses are the absence of a larger zip pocket, but the pants from the new collection have already. The evening runs are definitely not reflective tapes (for H & M typical) that extend across the length of their thighs. The only downside to my trousers is in the lower saddle – after a longer run, the trousers are slightly down. Not that they fall, but somebody may not be nice. Leggings from the new collection are now higher and can be pulled down on the string.

 

The shirt with a long sleeve and hood pleased me most. It is produced in two color variants – gray-pink and gray-black with a batik pattern. (These colors go through half of the current collection.) Sitting perfectly on the body, but not too tight, the sleeves are long and fitted with a hole for the thumb (ideal for winter-wise women). The hood is the ideal solution if you feel cold when running. You do not have to wear a hat with your hood to replace it well (when it does not fall off your head) and whenever you can take it off. The material is very pleasant too: soft and thin, slightly soaked on the underside so it is pleasant but not hot. He also sweats well and dries quickly.

 

The reflective vest can be dressed in a t-shirt or in the winter in the wind. Clearly the most varied piece I’ve enjoyed many times on a bike, cross-country skiing or on a trip when the weather changed. Its greatest advantage is lightness and storage, easily put into your pocket or kidney. It’s made of soft polyester with a soft finish, so it does not work “plastic” and it does not blow too much in motion.

 

Relatively well protects against bulging; Stronger winds penetrate the fabric, but it can be more when running (and with regard to sweat drainage). A slightly looser cut allows you to wear your waistcoat even over your sweatshirt, while the extended length of the back will ensure that it does not “reach your kidneys”. The bottom hem is also rubberized, so the waist keeps on the sides and does not climb upwards. The front has a reflective strap across the length of the zip and reflective headband, a smaller reflective tape and a spacious pocket on the back. It goes hand in hand with the phone without bothering to jump from side to side. The mesh fabric on the back is swept away where it is most needed at the run, and the vest does not stick to it on the back.
