Victims on the road

One of the victims of the latest incidents is a 19-year-old driver who died in a serious accident that occurred on Friday night.

A group of people gathered at the scene of the accident to observe the work of the teams, while rescuers and police tried to secure the area. The death of the young person once again puts the focus on the question of responsibility on the road and the danger that lurks for drivers, especially in the early hours of the day.
