A woman in Moscow was injured when she was hit by a road-police car while walking along a pedestrian crossing, a news report said Wednesday.
The police officer who had been driving the car called an ambulance and provided the woman with first aid, the Ekho Moskvy radio station reported on its website.
The woman was taken to a trauma clinic to be treated for “contusions” after the incident on Moscow's Ulitsa Solzhenitsyn on Tuesday night, the report said.
The police officer was sober at the time of the incident, the report added.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
