It all happened this morning, January 21. Preliminary reports indicate that between Dema and Avdon, a Nissan Terrano crashed into a stationary MAN truck. The impact was so strong that the crossover was crushed — a 45-year-old woman and her 9-year-old son were trapped in the car.

The arriving rescuers were able to pull them out and hand them over to doctors. It is known that the boy sustained injuries and was sent to the hospital, while his mother was not injured.

At the scene, employees of the traffic police and the Ministry of Emergency Situations are working.

Recall that the day before in Kumertau, a driver was found who fled after hitting a mother with two children at a crosswalk. From the impact, the car«s bumper fell off. For now, the reckless driver has been arrested for 14 days.

Also note that during the New Year holidays, two children were injured in accidents on the roads of Bashkortostan: on January 5 there was a crash involving four cars near Ufa, on January 10 — on the Ufa — Birsk — Yanaul highway.
