Instead of concert hall young people ended up in the hospital

28 October 2011

Children went to the regional center to attend a gala concert. On a slippery road the school minibus they were driving lost control, slid off the road, entered ditch and toppled. As a result instead of the concert the schoolchildren were admitted to the hospital with bone fractures and contusions.
The accident happened in the morning on October 27 in the Sverdlovsk region at the 193 km of the Tyumen highway in vicinity of settlement Talitsy. The "Gazelle" minivan driving to Ekaterinburg had five children and a teacher on board. Students from school 20 in Tugulymsky district planned to take part in a gala concert of the regional festival "Patriots of Russia". Following the night frost the road was slippery; the minivan had summer tires which did not correspond to the weather conditions. Most likely this was the reason behind the car loosing control and coming off the road.
Extreme ride had no casualties, but three teenagers were seriously injured. A 15-year-old boy and 17-year-old girl sustained broken spine injuries, and a teenage boy had a concussion. They were brought to the hospital.
Minivan "Gazelle" belongs to the juvenile social rehabilitation center "Fairy Tale" in Tugulymsk district. The consequences of the MVA are investigated by the prosecutor's office as transportation of the children had numerous violations. The minivan had not yellow, as required by the traffic rules for school buses, but white color. The "Gazelle" was not equipped by seat belts, and wheel tires were not meeting weather conditions. As soon as the investigation is over the issue of initiating criminal charges per Article 238 of the Criminal Code ("Provision of services that contradict the requirements of maintaining life and health standard for consumers") will be addressed.
