The unfortunate incident has resulted in serious injuries for the two pedestrians, but no information about the condition of the driver of the foreign-made car has been provided. This accident is not related to any car accidents that occurred in the first 8 months of 2025 in Omsk.
While this incident is a concern, it's important to note that the number of car accidents in Omsk in the same period has been significantly higher. According to the Om1 Omsk portal, there were 12,024 car accidents in the first 8 months of 2025, resulting in 2,132 injuries and 75 fatalities.

However, the number of people injured in electric scooter accidents has increased from 2023 to 2025, with 120 such accidents occurring from January 2025 to the present.
Despite the increase, it's worth noting that the majority of road fatalities in Omsk still occur due to car accidents. Moreover, the number of fatalities from electric scooter accidents in Omsk decreased from 2023 to 2025, and no deaths have been reported from such accidents this year.
The Om1 Omsk portal has reported the accident involving the foreign-made car and pedestrians, but it's not clear if the foreign-made car was being driven by a local or a foreign resident. This accident is not included in the previous statistics of electric scooter accidents in Omsk.
It's a reminder for all road users to exercise caution and follow traffic rules to ensure the safety of everyone on the roads.
