The National Road Transport Agency (ANTA) will inspect the operator whose bus crashed today in the Ukrainian capital Kiev, on route from Chisinau to Moscow, IPN reports.
ANTA said in a press release that the operator will face contravention sanctions if the inspection reveals any violations of the transport legislation.
The local press reported that the bus was flipped on its side after the driver hit a curb in an attempt to avoid an accident in slippery road conditions. According to Ukraine’s emergencies service, eight passengers who required detailed medical examinations subsequently refused to be hospitalized. The Moldovan Ministry of Foreign Affairs said a second bus was on its way to safely ferry all the passengers to their destination.
