On July 23, a tragic car accident occurred in the Kotayk region. At around 11:10 PM, 28-year-old Gevorg B., a resident of Yerevan, lost control of his Opel vehicle on the 5th km of the Yerevan-Ashtarak highway. The car veered off the roadway, crashed into a steel electric pole located in the median, and ended up in the opposite lane.

As a result of the accident, the driver Gevorg B., along with passengers, 26-year-old Veronika S. from Yerevan and their 3-month-old daughter Adelina B., was transferred to the Armenia Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
