At present, eight of those, who were injured in the bus crash in Russia, are treated at Clinic No. 3 of Vladikavkaz. Four of them are Russian citizens, ethnic Russian boys who were coming to Armenia to participate in karate competitions.

Vardan Vardazaryan, head of the Hospital Medical Care Policy Department of the Ministry of Health of Armenia, and who is currently in Vladikavkaz, on Saturday informed about the aforementioned.

He added that the four other injured—three men and a woman—are Armenian citizens. Three of them are still in the intensive care unit, whereas the other was transferred to a patient room, on Saturday. None of their injuries are life-threatening.

Vardazaryan stressed that all the injured are receiving full medical care.

The ministry staff have discussed, with the specialists of the Ministry of Health and the hospitals of North Ossetia, the course of treatment and future transfer of the injured Armenians.

As reported earlier, a passenger bus, which was heading from Moscow to Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan, collided with a truck, on Friday at around 4:30am, on the Vladikavkaz-Beslan bypass in North Ossetia, in Russia. As a result, five people, including the bus driver, were killed, and 27 others sustained injuries.

Three of the casualties are Russian citizens, and the other two—Armenian nationals.

The bus passengers that could be transported were brought to Yerevan on board a plane of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, on the same day.

The dead bus driver’s body also was transported to Armenia.
