Three Chisinau pedestrians were hospitalised with various traumas resulted from road accidents. Ion Roscovanu, Road Safety Inspector of the Chisinau Traffic Police, told Info-Prim Neo that despite multiple warnings, pedestrians continue to violate the street-crossing rules, risking their lives, while drivers forget to give pedestrians priority. On Monday, 4 February, three more pedestrians were injured. The first accident happened at about 11 AM at the intersection of the streets Ismail and Bernardazzi. A young woman, 20, student of the European University, was crossing the street regularly when she was hit by a Volkswagen Golf vehicle, driven by a 23-year-old young man. The girl was admitted to hospital with brain concussion and multiple facial injuries. At the intersection of the streets Ierusalim and Petru Rares, a 60-year-old woman was hit by an Audi vehicle. The woman, who stepped into the street without looking, suffered soft tissue and femur injuries. An elderly man, 60, was hit by a Honda Civic car when trying to cross the street on the red colour. As a result, the man had his right calf fractured.
