The court sentenced the culprit of the accident, a 28-year-old daughter of chairman of the regional electoral commission, to 3 years of settlement colony. Execution of the sentence suspended for 14 years, since Shavenkova, which at the time of the accident was pregnant, it is necessary to care for a child born in March.
