According to the ✙ Київ Оперативний | Kyiv Operative ✙ channel, the accident occurred in the village of Novi Petrivtsi (Нові Петрівці), when an "Audi" vehicle struck the teenagers while they were riding together.
Most reports, including those from Україна Online, Всевидящее ОКО and ТСН новини, indicate that "according to preliminary estimates, the children are alive". Despite the harsh descriptions that "the children went flying in all directions" (as reported in Батальйон «Монако»), there were no reported fatalities in this tragedy.
The incident has sparked renewed public debate among media outlets regarding the safety and regulation of electric scooter riding. On the ТСН новини channel, they raised the question: "Are the current rules sufficient for the traffic safety of electric scooters?". A similar sentiment was voiced in ✙ Київ Оперативний, where they wondered: "How many more deaths and injuries must occur before this is regulated at the legislative level?".
