      The Lower Sergi District Court has chosen a measure of restraint for the owner of the truck "Volvo," whose driver was responsible for an accident that resulted in four fatalities. This was reported by the unified press service of the courts of the Sverdlovsk region.

      Evgeny Barankov is accused under part 3 of article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - "Provision of services that do not meet safety requirements, resulting in the accidental death of two or more persons."

      According to preliminary investigations, the accused, being the director of LLC "Avtomobilist," allowed the operation of the truck "Volvo," which had not passed the mandatory technical inspection. He also engaged the driver for the transportation of gravel, Ivan Mogilnikov, without official employment and without any contract.

      While driving the truck with Barankov's knowledge, driver Mogilnikov collided with a Land Rover Discovery III on May 31, 2026, around 16:30, on the approach to Nizhnie Sergi. All four people in the foreign car died at the scene from their injuries.

      The truck driver was placed under house arrest the day before. The judge imposed a similar measure of restraint on Barankov in the form of house arrest until August 1, 2026.

      The request of the investigator to place the accused in custody was denied.

      The court ruling has not yet entered into legal force and may be appealed.
