Yesterday afternoon, September 16, a trolleybus hit a child on Zhelyabova Street. The 9-year-old boy suffered a concussion and was hospitalized.A student of the Palace of Children’s and Youth Creativity was crossing the road at an unauthorized place.
A police officer witnessed the accident. According to him, the boy suddenly darted out from behind a tree straight in front of trolleybus No. 3 that was approaching.
Teachers from the institution of supplementary education, gathered at the scene, said that children have been hit at this spot more than once.
- There are three educational institutions here, and very many children walk to classes. Last year and the year before, children were already hit here; something needs to be done. A crossing is necessary, or at least a sign should be put up so that cars do not race but slow down. How many times have we appealed, written letters - no reaction - laments a teacher from the Palace of Children’s and Youth Creativity.
