The car was thrown onto pedestrians.

A video has emerged of a crash in Brovary, Kyiv region, where on Thursday, September 26, a drunk police guard officer driving an Opel slammed into a bus stop with people. As a result of the crash, one woman was killed and two people were injured.

The video was posted by Roman Truba, director of the State Bureau of Investigation.

"A drunk police guard officer at high speed simply 'knocked down' three people who were standing at a public transport stop... A police officer is responsibility and an example, not lawlessness and impunity. By getting behind the wheel while intoxicated, one should remember that it may cost someone their life," — said Truba.

Yesterday, National Police chief Ihor Klymenko already said he had suspended the entire leadership of the regional police guard department.

The driver has been detained. Law enforcement has opened criminal proceedings under Article 286 — violation of road traffic safety rules of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

Earlier, near Odesa, an overcrowded minibus and a truck collided, killing 9 people.
