The accident near Gargždai, during which a police minibus was damaged and two officers were injured, became an obstacle for many people to reach Klaipėda quickly and under the pretext of interpreting the causes of the disaster.

Took the guesswork

Sunday around 1 pm on the way to the port city, about 17 km towards him, a florist van crashed into the back of a police car.

On the impact, the officers’ minibus jumped forward and collided with the Audi A6, which was also on the side of the road and was stopped by the police.

Immediately after that, a chain of cars over a kilometer long formed on the road. The traffic stopped.

News of the accident spread on the Internet and bored car drivers were quick to consider whether the police would not leave the official car sticking out of the road again, as happened near Klaipėda a few months ago.

This time, the traffic accident was recorded and the Klaipėda district police officers began their investigation.

Yesterday, the investigation was to be handed over to the Klaipėda County Police Chief Commissariat Road Police Service.

Captured by the registrar

Rasa Stasiulaitienė, head of the Klaipėda District Police Station, was quick to deny speculation about the allegedly irregular parking of officers.

“It is 100% known that the police car was parked on the side of the road. It is captured by the video recorders of this car. Our cars are filming from all sides.” “It’s not entirely clear why the person was driving this way, he couldn’t give us a reason.

Something a man had to do to avoid seeing a police car parked and illuminated by beacons like this.

The administrators of the Facebook account, which receives information from the police about traffic accidents, already on Sunday began to share doubts: maybe the driver was talking on the phone or even fell asleep?

Before the accident, a 28-year-old police officer was sitting in the cockpit of an official car and writing minutes. As a result, he suffered the most serious injuries during the impact.

Even before the firefighters arrived, the doctors took him to the hospital.

His colleague was sitting in front of the minibus, so he suffered much less.

The Citroën driver got out himself; the front right corner of the florist car was the most confusing.

About 50 minutes after the traffic accident, firefighters managed to free the policemen from the back of the official car and place them in the back of the minibus, called the detention room.

Like water from a goose

The greatest baby of happiness can be called a 22-year-old inmate, sitting in a cage of a police car for detainees.

On that day, the Klaipėda district police officers were informed that the “Audi A6” was heading towards Klaipėda from the Kaunas side. He caught the attention of other drivers with strange maneuvers.

People who reported the car to police said the driver was maneuvering dangerously.

The driver of this machine was suspected of being sober.

Gargždiškės got together and stopped this car.

It turned out that the car was driven by three dead guys from the Prienai district.

The driver’s drunkenness was recorded with an alcohol meter. He showed 1.46 avg., Which means that criminal proceedings should not be brought against him.

Also, this guy didn’t have a driver’s license.

He can be called the happiness baby because, despite the drunkenness, he will pay himself with administrative responsibility.

In addition, the man was unharmed in a terrible accident and the repair of the car will have to be reimbursed to the car insurers of the florists.

The biggest damage is to the police.

On Monday, a 28-year-old investigator working in the Response Department of the Klaipėda District Police Station was still receiving treatment at a hospital. The day before, the doctors informed him that they had diagnosed him with multiple trauma.

His 24-year-old colleague also has a sick leave certificate, but is being treated at home.

The 52-year-old man, who was driving a Citroen Jumper minibus at the company that caused the accident, refused to seek medical help after the accident. Today it was not known if he needed their help later.

The Klaipeda District Police Station lost one of the five minibuses that were called Police Cabinets on Wheels.

Said vehicle has a desk installed in the cabin, internet access, a computer and a printer. The rear of the car is fenced and can transport a detained person.

Using these vehicles, the Response Division officers can record a crime at the scene and isolate the suspect from others.

This saves time and avoids the need to waste time driving to the police station.

“It is a very big loss for us. I doubt that the car will be repaired. It seems that the computer has also broken. I do not know if the printer works,” said R. Stasiulaitienė about the losses.

The rescue took time

The part of the road that people drove to Klaipeda on Sunday has been closed for quite some time. It is not possible to divert traffic to an opposite lane at this freeway location.

Employees of the Highway Administration directed part of the cars to the Gargždai Viaduct with temporary traffic signs.

The traffic police tried to regulate the flows in the place.

He not only took the victim’s guidance from the wrecked car, the road accident record, but also the cleaning of the road surface.

At the same time, a tractor was moving another mile on the opposite side of the road, on the way to Kaunas.

The cause of the accident was the explosion of a tire from a heavy vehicle.
