Accident Involving Children in Karakalpakstan Prompts Investigation
A concerning incident occurred in Karakalpakstan as a car carrying 10 kindergarten-aged children overturned, resulting in injuries to several occupants.
The accident took place in Nokis city, where a vehicle transporting the children overturned, leading to hospitalization of two children aged 3 and 6, along with the driver.
Authorities from the Ministry of Internal Affairs swiftly responded to the scene to assess the situation and initiate necessary measures, as reported by qazaqstan.tv. The prosecutor’s office has confirmed the launch of a criminal case and an ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident.
This incident underscores serious safety concerns in the transportation of children, following a similar violation earlier this year in the Kashkadarya region, where a single vehicle was found transporting 25 children simultaneously. In response, the driver was fined, and the vehicle was temporarily taken out of service.
Authorities are committed to ensuring the safety of children during transportation and are intensifying efforts to enforce regulations aimed at protecting young passengers on the roads.
