In Karelia, a drunken deputy caused an accident in which a child died

The Prosecutor's Office of Karelia opened a criminal case against a municipal deputy who committed an accident that resulted in the death of a child. According to law enforcement agencies, the parliamentarian was drunk at the time of the accident.

A criminal case has been initiated against a member of the council of the Pitkyaranta urban settlement of Karelia, 35-year-old Evgeny Tarasov. According to the investigation, on the evening of June 25, deputy Tarasov, driving a VAZ-21012 car while intoxicated, drove into oncoming traffic in one of the villages and collided with a Ford Transit minibus. As a result of the accident, a child, a passenger in the minibus, died. Currently, the investigation is establishing all the circumstances of the incident, Interfax reports.

It is worth noting that this year there were four road accidents due to the fault of drunken deputies.
Two of them were committed on the same day , June 8, by the Vice Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of the Perm Territory, Evgeny Vyaznikov. A drunk deputy drove his Honda Pilot SUV into oncoming traffic, where he crashed into a bus with 30 passengers. The deputy received multiple injuries and a broken hip, and four passengers on the bus were also injured. Shortly before this, Vyaznikov’s car had another accident, colliding with an Opel Corsa.

A month before this, on May 15, a deputy of the Chelyabinsk region district assembly, Yuri Bobyr, caused an accident while intoxicated . The 54-year-old deputy, ignoring the “give way” sign, flew from the secondary road to the main one, where he crashed into a VAZ-21099. A massive jeep threw the car into a ditch, where it overturned and caught fire. The 26-year-old woman who was driving the 99, despite numerous injuries, managed to get out of the car on her own, which subsequently completely burned out.
