The court put under house arrest Valeria Bashkirova, who shot down three children on July 16 at a pedestrian crossing in Moscow.

She will remain under house arrest until at least September 15th.

"The Nikulinsky District Court of Moscow granted the petition of the investigation," RIA Novosti quotes the press secretary of the Moscow City Court Valery Lazarev.

At the same time, Lazarev cited the position of the defense.

According to him, Bashkirova's lawyer called the incident an "accident."

"During the trial in the Nikulinsky court in Moscow, the defendant's lawyer did not assess her actions, only called the incident an accident," said a spokesman for the court.

The girl was charged under Part 3 of Art.

264 of the Criminal Code (violation of the rules of the road, resulting in the death of a person by negligence).

According to the traffic police, on Friday, July 16, at 12:58 pm near the house number 5 on Aviatorov Street, a Mazda 3 car hit boys at the age of nine months and five and three years at an unregulated pedestrian crossing.

The children moved accompanied by two adults.

As the ministry told reporters, the children took the brunt of the blow, the youngest of whom was in a stroller.

The video footage of the incident published by the traffic police shows that the girl, without slowing down, drove into a group of pedestrians at an unregulated crossing.

At the same time, the driver could not see people at the crossing, since the view of them was blocked by another car, which slowed down at the crossing to let pedestrians pass.

As a result of the collision, a five-year-old boy, who received a fracture of the base of the skull and fell into a coma, died in the hospital.

“The boy, who was taken by helicopter to a medical facility after an accident, died,” the traffic police said in a Telegram message.

Later, a three-year-old child died in the hospital after being seriously injured in an accident.

The nine-month-old was diagnosed with traumatic brain injury and concussion.

The police clarified that the girl who was driving the Mazda received a driver's license in 2020.

At the same time, there were no traffic violations for her, and the car itself did not belong to her.

Eyewitnesses said that the car "swept away" the pedestrians at the crossing.

“It seemed to me that a lady of about 20 years was driving.

She flew into the crosswalk and swept away the children.

Later they said that one of the children had died, but I don't know for sure.

But he was lying unconscious, the second baby was carried to the ambulance.

And the lady who had run over the children stood and sobbed, talking to someone on the phone.

She explained what had happened, apparently, "- quotes an eyewitness of the accident" Evening Moscow ".

He explained that after the accident, the stroller in which one of the children was transported was next to the pedestrian crossing.

On the fact of the incident, a criminal case was opened under Part 1 of Art.

264 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Violation of the rules of the road and the operation of vehicles").

The Investigative Committee in Moscow initiated the transfer of the case from the police to the UK.

The Moscow prosecutor's office put the investigation under control.

Recall that in September 2020, in the center of Moscow, there was a resonant accident with a collision with pedestrians.

An Infiniti car driven by rapper Elmin Guliyev drove into a Mercedes at a speed, after which it flew onto the sidewalk and knocked down pedestrians, three people were injured.

Also on russian.rt.com The rapper accused of an accident on Ostozhenka was sued for 1.5 million rubles

The subsequent examination established that the Infiniti driver was under the influence of drugs.

Guliyev himself admitted his guilt in the incident, but said that he only used painkillers.

In April 2021, a Moscow court ruled to sentence Guliyev to four years in prison in a criminal case of hitting three pedestrians in the center of Moscow, as well as depriving him of his driver's license for a period of three years.

In addition, in March 2020, the court sentenced the driver from Kyrgyzstan Bekzhan Sarbishev to 16 years in prison for hitting pedestrians in September 2018.

The culprit of the accident became a participant in the conflict in a cafe, after which he got behind the wheel of a car and hit pedestrians.

As a result of Sarbishev's actions, one person died, nine more were injured, including a girl born in 2001, who was underage at the time of the accident.
