Reported by random person
Thursday at 6 o’clock 48 min. The general assistance center received a report that a traffic accident occurred in the village of Sirutiškis, Surviliškis ward, Kėdainiai district, on the Kėdainiai–Krekenava–Panevėžys road. The reporter informed that a wrecked car can be seen in the ditch, no people can be seen around. The citizen did not approach the car.
In such cases, all special services are sent to the scene: firefighters, rescuers, emergency medical services and police officers.
Found under the car
Rescuers rushed to the fields and saw a heavily smashed Opel passenger car. If the roadblocks are not broken, it is really difficult to see that the event happened.
Soon the rescuers saw that a person was crushed under the car. The rescuers opened the car with rescue equipment and pulled it out of the reclamation ditch.
Unfortunately, the medics could no longer help the found person – the 31-year-old man was pronounced dead. His body was taken away by the employees of the funeral service company. An examination will be carried out.
Help is called too late
According to preliminary data, help may have been called too late. It is believed that the traffic accident happened in the dark, possibly even at night or in the morning, but no one informed the special services about it.
It is also becoming clear that a total of 3 young men may have been driving the car. Which of them was driving the car – it is being clarified.
Why didn’t you call for help? Local residents say that the deceased was not driving the car. The men were going home from Kėdainiai – to the village of Sirutiškis. They all live here. They have been friends since childhood.
It is only natural to ask why the friends did not call 112 immediately after the accident?
Shock, stress, or maybe there are other reasons? The investigators will find out all this.
Kaunas police raised a drone at the scene.
The car is believed to have exceeded the speed limit, hit barriers and rolled several times before falling into a ditch. She was completely numb.
The deceased was married and had a family. Little children were left without their father and stepfather.
Two persons were interviewed
Police officers have already interviewed two people who may also have been driving the car. Both people were detained for questioning in Sirutiškis.
If it turns out that one of these men, and not the deceased, was driving, he will face many years in prison, because the Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania stipulates that a person who, while driving a road vehicle, has violated the rules of road traffic safety or the operation of the vehicle, if this caused a traffic accident an event resulting in the death of a person is punishable by imprisonment for up to eight years.
Whoever committed the intended act while intoxicated or under the influence of narcotic, psychotropic or other psychoactive substances shall be punished by deprivation of liberty from three to ten years.
Left in distress?
By the way, if it is established that the men really drove in threes, and the friends left the victim under the car without calling for help, they may have to answer for this as well.
The Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania stipulates that a person who caused danger or failed to help an injured person when the person’s life was in danger, even though he had the opportunity to help him, is punished by public service or a fine, or restriction of freedom, or arrest, or imprisonment minus up to two years.
