The driver who caused the fatal accident on March 8 has been sent to pre-trial detention.
The court has arrested the bus driver involved in a fatal traffic accident in the center of Yekaterinburg.
The Lenin District Court of Yekaterinburg has chosen a preventive measure in the form of detention for the driver of the route bus, accused of a fatal traffic accident that resulted in the deaths of four people, including a 9-year-old boy.
According to the investigation, on the evening of June 10, 2026, the driver of the "PAZ-3204 'Vector'" bus, while driving along 8 Marta Street, entered the intersection with Malysheva Street on a red traffic light. There, the bus collided with a "Lifan" car, after which it drove onto the sidewalk and hit pedestrians who were there.
As a result of the accident, four people died from their injuries.
The man born in 1977 has been charged under part 5 of Article 264 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - violation of traffic rules resulting in the unintentional death of two or more persons.
The prosecutor's office supported the investigation's request for the arrest of the accused, stating that he may flee from the investigation and the court, exert pressure on witnesses, or otherwise obstruct the investigation.
The court agreed with the arguments of the prosecution and ordered the driver to be held in custody until August 10, 2026.
