The proceedings into the accident, as a result of which a 7-year-old died in Armenia’s Hrazdan town, lasted only for half a month.

According to the Justice Department of Armenia, the case has been transferred to the Court of General Jurisdiction of Kotayk province.

Under the indictment, on July 4, Vanik Sargsyan was driving in Hrazdan in a condition of intoxication. Because of the high speed, the man wasn’t able to control the car while turning.  Consequently, the car appeared on the pavement, knocking down the 7-year-old boy, who immediately died.

Vanik Sargsyan faces charges under Article 242.2 of the Armenian Criminal Code. The surveillance camera recorded the tragic incident. The boy was walking along the street with his parents and sisters. The car didn’t hit the other children only by miracle.
