Four Citizens Dead, Four Injured in Berd-Aygedzor Road Accident

On February 24, at 12:12 PM, the National Crisis Management Center received a report that a vehicle had overturned on the Berd-Aygedzor road, resulting in casualties and injuries.

A firefighting unit from the Ministry of Emergency Situations’ regional rescue department, along with an operational group from the civil protection forces stationed at the Chinari post, were dispatched to the scene.

It was determined that at the 25th kilometer of the Berd-Aygedzor road, a "VAZ-2107" vehicle (driven by Hmayak A., born in 1974) collided with a raised crane of the "MAZ" brand (driven by Aram D., born in 1964), which resulted in the immediate death of the driver of the "VAZ-2107" at the scene.

Before the rescuers arrived, passengers of the "VAZ-2107," including Ani A. (born in 1994), Amalya G. (born in 1944), Susanna A. (born in 2006), and Angelina A. (born in 2019), along with Arsen (born in 1990), Manya (born in 2013), and Avag (born in 2015), were hospitalized at the Berd Medical Center. Unfortunately, Ani A., Angelina A. and Amalya G. later succumbed to their injuries. The health condition of the other injured has been assessed by doctors as moderate severity.

The rescuers de-energized the vehicles, closed the valves of the gas cylinders, and cordoned off the area.
