Details of the Incident at the “Troieshchyna 2” Station
During the departure of the electric train from the “Troieshchyna 2” station, the driver closed the doors and began to move without ensuring that all passengers had boarded the carriage. As a result, an 82-year-old man, who stumbled and fell while boarding, became trapped in the doors. His legs remained outside the carriage, and in this position, he traveled to the next stop.
At the next platform, the passenger sustained significant injuries, including open fractures of both legs, when his limbs got caught on the platform edges.
