In Tashkent city, Uchtepa district, a citizen remained under a bus stop after being hit by a bus. This was reported by the Millar program here.

It is noted that a 27-year-old man was waiting for a bus near the Construction township opposite the Uchtepa Center stop on May 20 at around 22:00. The footage states that as a result of the bus hitting, the bus stop's metal structures fell on him.

"I was waiting for the bus. The driver fell asleep, smashed through the stop, and went on. God saved me. Only suffered a head injury. Honestly, I don’t remember who helped me. I crawled out from under the stop. Kids came, wiped the blood off, gave me water, moved me to the side, and called for an ambulance," said the victim.

According to the "Tashkent City Transport Services" company, the driver of the Yutong bus number 69 lost control of the steering due to being distracted and his own negligence at the time of stopping and crashed into the stop. There were no passengers on the bus.

Currently, the Company's Traffic Safety Control Department has ordered an official investigation, and preliminary inquiries and investigations are underway.
