The person who drove his car into a trolleybus that stopped at a waiting station near the Circus in Chisinau is 21 years old. The Drager test showed that the young man had not drunk alcohol.
The information was confirmed to IPN by the press officer of the Chisinau Police Division Svetlana Scripnic. According to her, other circumstances of the accident are being established.
A trolleybus running on route No. 25, with 40 passengers aboard, was rear-ended while it was in the public transport waiting station on Renașterii Blvd. The driver who hit it was moving illegally on the lane dedicated to public transport.
From the video images that captured the moment of the accident, it can be seen how the driver gets out of the car confused after the impact and other road users come to his aid. A few moments before the impact, another car that was driving in front of him, also on the lane dedicated to public transport, illegally crossed the solid line and bypassed the trolleybus.
