A nine-year-old boy sustained severe injuries while snow tubing in the village of Padsatskiye in the Uzda District, the Investigative Committee press service reported.
The incident occurred in the afternoon of February 21 in a wooded area on Tsentralnaya Street. The child was sliding down a hill near his family’s summer house. The descent crossed a dirt road. During one of the runs, the boy collided with the rear wheel of a UAZ postal vehicle that was driving along the road. The child suffered serious head injuries and was urgently taken to hospital.
An investigative task force worked at the scene. It was established that the slope was not equipped for winter recreational activities.
The Uzda District Investigative Committee department opened a criminal case under Part 2 of Article 317 of the Criminal Code of Belarus (violation of traffic rules resulting in serious bodily injury).
