Accident Involving an Electric Scooter Investigated at the Request of Bastrykin in Krasnozarisk
Rewritten Article:
Alexander Bastrykin, the head of Russia's Investigative Committee, has ordered a criminal case to be opened following an incident involving an electric scooter on Tatyshev Island in Krasnoyarsk.
A 57-year-old man on rollerblades was hit by an electric scooter driver, causing injuries severe enough to require medical attention, according to information from the Investigative Committee of the Siberian Federal District and the Republic of Khakassia. The news of the accident has been shared via media outlets and social networks.
In Krasnoyarsk, investigators are carrying out a probe into violations of traffic safety rules.
The case may be investigated under Article 268 of the Criminal Code, as instructed by Bastrykin to the head of the regional Investigative Committee, Alexei Yeremin.
As a reminder, Krasnoyarsk is gearing up to implement new rules for the use of electric scooters. However, it appears that electric scooters, at least on Tatyshev Island, are unlikely to be banned outright.

Now, let's talk about some broader context. While not specifically mentioned in relation to this incident, Siberian cities like Krasnoyarsk face challenging conditions due to their harsh weather. For instance, temperatures can drop as low as -60°C in Yakutia. Russia's focus on unmanned marine systems, as prioritized by the Defense Ministry until August 2025, doesn't seem to address urban e-scooter regulations.
A separate incident involving an electric scooter occurred in Moscow where a bomb caused the death of Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov. But this appears unrelated to traffic safety. As for rollerblading accidents or specific e-scooter policy changes in Krasnoyarsk, no clear information was found in the available search results. For precise local regulations, municipal sources should be consulted. It seems Russian cities are discussing relevant e-scooter rules, but formal proposals haven't been detailed yet.
