In Sverdlovsk Oblast, a taxi driver was convicted for running over and killing his own passenger.
Taxi driver from Verkhnyaya Pyshma Ruslan Panov, who accidentally ran over a passenger, was sentenced to one and a half years of compulsory labor. Ten percent will be withheld from his earnings, and his driver's license has been revoked for 2 years and 6 months.
In addition to the criminal sentence, the court ordered Panov to pay compensation for moral damages: 600,000 rubles to each of the deceased's parents and 400,000 rubles to his sister. Panov must also reimburse the funeral expenses.
The tragedy occurred in May 2024 in the gardening cooperative "Sagra-1". After the driver dropped off the passengers, he began to reverse and did not notice that one of the men had stumbled and fallen. The car ran over him — the 29-year-old passenger died at the scene.
According to the Sverdlovsk Regional Court, the driver displayed criminal negligence by failing to ensure the safety of the maneuver and by not using the assistance of others, as required by traffic rules.
Ruslan Panov did not plead guilty and asked the court to acquit him, but the appeal did not help. The Sverdlovsk Regional Court found no grounds to review the case and left the sentence unchanged. The verdict has now come into force.
