In a traffic accident that occurred on March 27 at about 16:45 on the Volodymyr-Volynskyi – Zhovkva highway near the village of Novosilky in Volodymyr-Volynskyi district, the head and a member of precinct election commission No. 29 of the city of Novovolynsk were killed. They had delivered ballots to the district commission in the city of Volodymyr-Volynskyi and were returning back to Novovolynsk. This was reported on March 28 by a correspondent of the Western Information Corporation.
Near the village of Novosilky in Volodymyr-Volynskyi district, the left wheel of the Seat Ibiza car in which the precinct election commission representatives were traveling hit a pothole in the road. The car was thrown into the oncoming lane, where it collided with a Toyota cargo van traveling toward it.
As a result of the collision, three passengers of the Seat died at the scene of the accident: the 42-year-old driver of the car, the 49-year-old head of precinct election commission No. 29, and a 43-year-old member of the commission. Two more passengers of the Seat — a 34-year-old member of the commission and a 25-year-old police officer who was escorting the commission members — were hospitalized with serious injuries.
The driver and a female passenger of the Toyota also received bodily injuries and were taken to Novovolynsk city hospital.
