A classmate who was in the car's passenger compartment died as a result of the "accident." This was reported by the "Milliy" TV channel.
The incident occurred on March 25, 2025, near dawn during the Ramadan holiday. The student took his older brother's Tracker car and drove it at a speed of 137 km/h. Having lost control on the road, he collided with two cars and a pole. As a result of the collision, his classmate was thrown from the passenger compartment and died at the scene.
During the court proceedings, the accused gave the following testimony:
"After my friends called me, I took my brother's car keys. I was interested in cars. Such a situation will not happen again. I deeply regret what I did."
The court found the 17-year-old young man guilty under Part 2 of Article 266 of the Criminal Code (causing a person's death as a result of violating traffic safety rules). He was sentenced to 4 years of deprivation of liberty. Subsequently, the court reviewed the sentence and set a 3-year suspended sentence of deprivation of liberty.
