The incident occurred on a section of the road between the villages of Grigorievka and Kozhoyar in the Issyk-Kul district. According to preliminary information, the Hyundai Elantra driver ran over a cow that was standing directly on the roadway.
Causes and consequences of the incident
According to eyewitness reports, a fire broke out in the car's engine compartment after the collision, resulting in the vehicle being completely destroyed. Despite the severity of the damage to the vehicle, the driver survived. Preliminary data suggests the cow also survived the impact.
Witnesses of the incident emphasize that there is a complete lack of street lighting on this section of the road. Furthermore, the animal had no reflective elements, which likely prevented the driver from noticing the obstacle in the dark in time.
