Tram accident victim to be compensated with 1 million rubles by "ChelabGET"
In the city of Chelyabinsk, located in the northwest of the region, a tragic incident occurred on January 20, 2022. A 14-year-old cyclist was hit by a tram while crossing the road with an acquaintance. The accident took place at a green light, and the tram driver, who was collecting fares from passengers at the time, failed to notice the red light.
The Kurgan District Court, the location of the lawsuit, ordered the transport company, LLC "Chelyabinsk City Electric Transport" (ChelyabGÉT), to pay the Chelyabinsk resident 1 million rubles in compensation. The prosecutor's office of the Chelyabinsk region filed the lawsuit following an investigation into a complaint from the parents of the schoolboy.
The cyclist was hospitalized with severe injuries and is currently undergoing rehabilitation. It's unfortunate that no information was provided about the current condition or fate of the girl who was also hit in the accident.
The court sentenced the tram driver to one year of restricted freedom, prohibiting her from engaging in activities related to driving vehicles for one year. The company involved in the lawsuit accepted the court's decision regarding the compensation, which has now entered into legal force.
Despite the court's ruling, it's worth noting that the LLC "Chelyabinsk City Electric Transport" belongs to the Chelyabinsk municipal transport company. However, search results did not provide specific information about the last civil court judgment against this company, and no public record of such a judgment was found.
This incident serves as a reminder for all road users to remain vigilant and follow traffic rules to ensure everyone's safety. The newspaper "Novy Day" will continue to report on this story as more information becomes available.
