In Nizhny Tagil, a young woman was sentenced for causing a traffic accident that resulted in the deaths of three people in an oncoming car.
As established in the court session, the tragedy occurred early in the morning on July 12, 2025, on the Serov tract. Polina Piletskaya, a resident of KhMAO, was driving a Subaru Forester without a driver's license.
Between 04:40 and 05:00, at the 147th kilometer of the Yekaterinburg - Serov highway, she crossed into the oncoming lane through a solid line, where she collided with a LADA Granta.
As a result of the accident, the driver and two passengers of the LADA died. The father of the Subaru driver, who was in the same car, sustained serious injuries.
Piletskaya was found guilty under paragraph "v" part 6 of article 264 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Violation of traffic rules resulting in the death of two or more persons through negligence).
The Lenin District Court of Nizhny Tagil sentenced her to 8 years in a correctional colony-settlement. The sentence has not yet entered into legal force and can be appealed within the established time frame.
It should be noted that in the initial report of this accident, the blame was placed on the driver of the LADA. The 54-year-old resident of the city of Sovietsky (KhMAO) was behind the wheel of the Subaru Forester. His 19-year-old daughter was traveling as a passenger.
"The investigation established that the girl had not yet passed her exams at the traffic police at the time of the accident, being a student of a driving school. According to the prosecution's version, on the way to the Kurgan region, the father and daughter decided to switch places. The man sat in the passenger seat and, apparently, fell asleep," writes v-tagile.ru.
