In Ridder, a 13-year-old girl who died in a motorcycle accident was laid to rest. According to preliminary investigation data, she hit a rope used to tether a horse, reports infohub.kz.
Several days have passed since the tragedy, but local residents still bring flowers and toys to the accident site. The funeral took place in Ridder the day before.
The girl died at the scene. Her 15-year-old friend, who was also on the motorcycle, was hospitalized with a concussion. Doctors describe her condition as stable.
The investigation is ongoing. The main version is that the girl hit the rope. The horse owner, who may have tightened it, has already been questioned.
Law enforcement urges citizens not to allow children to operate vehicles: this is only permitted with a driver's license. They also remind about the rules for grazing animals—it should not pose a threat to others.
