The driver who ran over an elderly woman with his car in Debrecen may be fined
Debrecen – The Debrecen Traffic Prosecutor’s Office charged the man with the offense of negligently causing a road accident.
According to the indictment, on October 28, 2021, at around 3:45 p.m., the accused was driving a car in downtown Debrecen. At the time of the accident, there were natural daylight conditions and ideal weather conditions, which did not adversely affect perceptibility and visibility.
The accused arrived at a road crossing where the crossing road has a divided track, and there is tram traffic on it. There are designated pedestrian crossings in all directions in the intersection quadrangle.
At the intersection, the defendant started at the traffic light signal and turned left in a large curve. Due to his high level of inattention, he was late in noticing the victim on the road, in the designated pedestrian crossing, who was hit by the front part of the vehicle on the left side. The victim first fell onto the hood of the passenger car and then onto the roadway, according to a statement from the Hajdú-Bihar County Prosecutor’s Office.
The elderly woman suffered numerous fractures and bruises all over her body during the day, eight of which are still healing.
The accident and injuries occurred as a result of the irregularities of the accused KRESZ.
The investigation in the case was conducted by the Debrecen Police Department.
The District Prosecutor’s Office in Debrecen brought charges against the defendant, who admitted to committing the crime, for the misdemeanor of negligently causing a road accident at the District Court in Debrecen. The district prosecutor’s office proposed in the indictment that the district court, based on the contents of the documents, impose a monetary penalty proportional to the crime against the accused without conducting a trial.
