In an interview with ArmDaily.am, the head of the Ptghunk community, Karapet Artyunyan, mentioned that they are currently on-site and conducting operations. “We have brought the vehicles back; we are clearing the road with water to restore order, as it is an interstate road. The cleanup crews have arrived to clear away the debris from the accident. He noted that all three deceased individuals were from the city of Ejmiadzin, and the police officers were employees of the Ejmiadzin division. “The police vehicle was responding to a call when it crossed over from one side to the other.
