The force of the impact caused it to tip over onto the right side of the vehicle. The 42-year-old Ukrainian fell out of the minibus and, according to the police, suffered such serious injuries that when the doctors arrived, only death could be determined.
The other occupants of the minibus were injured so badly that they had to be taken to nearby hospitals.
