As it turned out, the girl was running across the road at an unspecified place, according to relatives – she was in a hurry to the store on the other side of the highway.
Even from the video recorder of one of the drivers who passed the scene of the tragic accident, it can be seen that the body of the deceased was lying far from the pedestrian crossing because the road is divided in that area. Two obstacles.
After the tragedy, the People’s Deputy regretted what he did on his social networks, but shortly before the event, Andriy Nikolayenko exceeded the speed limit on the highway, for which he paid a fine.

“I admit that before that I exceeded the speed, it was recorded on the camera and I paid a fine, it was that day, but 60-70 km before this place. In a completely different place. Outside the moment the woman ran, I started to react, brake. The speed was within the normal limit. ,” he promised.
What is the speed limit?
We have to remind you that on highways outside populated areas, driving speed of 90 km/h is allowed. 110 km if a dividing line is fixed on the road outside the city. Speed limit on highways is 130 kmph. So, according to the technical test, people’s acceleration exceeded speed.

Relatives and subordinate status
The deputy who was involved in the accident, according to the family of the deceased Victoria, offered help, after which the family got the idea that he wanted to close the case. But Nikolayenko denies the girl’s words and says the opposite.
“Why did they refuse? I helped with the burial. In a purely Christian way, I saw that the family was not rich. I transferred the funds for the burial. I don’t know where and what they borrowed,” he said. People support.
What did the court decide?
