According to SHAMSHYAN.com, on November 2, the traffic police department of Yerevan, Mashtots police department, and the investigation division of the Yerevan office of the Armenian Investigative Committee successfully identified the driver involved in a double hit-and-run incident in Yerevan yesterday.

Police and investigators established that the vehicle in question was an Audi. Upon determining the driver's residence, they proceeded to that location. However, the Audi driver, Harachya T., a 54-year-old resident of Aragatsotn Province, was not at home. Aware that the police and investigators had already uncovered details about the incident, he voluntarily presented himself at the Mashtots police department, from where he was transferred to the investigative division.

As per the investigator's directive, the Audi vehicle has been moved to a special area secured by the Yerevan traffic police.

It is important to note that on November 2, a fatal double hit-and-run occurred in Yerevan. At approximately 06:15, a 47-year-old resident of Aragatsotn Province, Seno G., while driving a VAZ 211440, struck a pedestrian on Hasratyan Street. The driver did not flee the scene, provided assistance to the injured middle-aged woman, called the emergency service at 1-03, and informed the operational management center of the Yerevan traffic police about the incident. Those present at the scene reported that the driver even spoke with the injured woman, who claimed that there was no need to call an ambulance. Nevertheless, the driver proceeded to call for help.

Before the ambulance arrived, another vehicle, which the driver noticed but we cannot disclose the make due to the preliminary investigation's interests, hit the woman again, and the driver of that vehicle fled the scene. Unfortunately, the woman succumbed to her injuries at the scene.

A criminal case has been initiated regarding the incident under Part 2 of Article 242 and Article 244 of the RA Criminal Code. Driver Seno G. underwent an alcohol test on-site, which confirmed that he was sober.
