On the afternoon of January 27, a passenger on trolleybus #44 in Minsk was electrocuted.
The victim herself, Diana, told on TikTok that around 4:45 PM at the public transport stop "Center of Mercy" on Kalvaryyskaya Street, she was getting onto a trolleybus. After grabbing the handrail, she stepped onto the floor, after which she felt a strong pain and lost consciousness.
— "I regained consciousness already inside the salon," the girl recounted. — "People said that I screamed terribly and some man literally pulled me away from the door. Already at home, I realized that my leg was numb, the sensation hadn't returned, so I called an ambulance."
In another video, she added: "Doctors diagnosed heart problems, an ankle injury, and stress." Currently, the Minsk resident is undergoing treatment at the 4th City Clinical Hospital.
"Minsktrans" learned about the incident with the girl from social media, "Minsk-Novosti" writes. The girl did not contact the trolleybus driver or other representatives of the enterprise. But they told about another case.
— "On January 27, around 4:40 PM, a current leak occurred on trolleybus route No. 44 on Kalvaryyskaya Street – a teenage passenger suffered, who was hospitalized in the 6th City Clinical Hospital with a preliminary diagnosis of 'electrotrauma'. After examination, he is at home," the enterprise stated. — "No other passengers contacted the driver or the arriving medics. Everyone independently left the scene. An investigation is currently underway regarding this incident."
"Minsktrans" added that after recovery, the victims should contact the "Transport Park No. 4" branch to draw up an act of harm to health, which will then be submitted to an insurance company for compensation.
