Student killed in accident
A medical college student died in the centre of Chechnya's capital, Grozny, having been run into by an armoured personnel carrier of the Russian Internal Affairs Ministry's interior troops. The accident took place in the Leninskii district at the intersection of Maiakovskii St and Delovaia St.
The girl was standing at the intersection, Chechnya's Internal Affairs Ministry told Interfax. At the moment, the personnel carrier that was moving along as part of a military column suddenly turned right and, leaving the carriageway, ran into the girl, knocked down a lamp post, and stopped 50 metres away from there. The student died on the spot.
