The indictment in the case of a fatal road accident in Sumskaya Street in Kharkov does not specify the exact speed with which the Lexus car was driven by Elena Zaitseva.
This is reported by Gromadsk radio.
"Indeed, the experts did not establish the speed of the car Zaitseva with an accuracy of one kilometer. But, nevertheless, we have the rules of the road, at the time when the accident was committed, we were told that the car had the right to drive at a speed of no more than 60 km / h. +20 km is still a significant excess of speed. By and large - and what affects the specific speed of the car? We have established the fact of the violation, and he is in the indictment, he is charged with guilt and the person will answer for it in court. Prosecutors asked the experts to determine the exact speed of the car, but even if experts did not manage to set the speed to the accuracy of one kilometer, this does not mean that someone did not finish and the case will fall apart. We have expertise and we are confident in our accusatory position, "commented the press secretary of the prosecutor of the Kharkiv region Vita Dubovik.
At the same time, the lawyer of the second suspect - the driver of Volkswagen Gennady Dronov believes that establishing an accurate speed is fundamentally important.
"Basically this is what Dronov charged with what he before driving is not convinced of the safety of their movement. But the question is:
was he convinced of the danger of a Lexus car moving at a speed of 80 km / h or 150 km / h? This is a very fundamental difference in order to establish whether he was able to see such a danger at all. Because in the case when the car is moving at a speed of 120 km / h, it passes a certain distance in 1 second. And when Dronov saw that car, in the distance he was? At a distance of 20 meters or 150 meters? If this distance is 150 meters, then what is the danger? ", - said Sergey Perepelitsa.
