Several bystanders witnessed the collision. The victim was resuscitated by them. The resuscitation was later taken over by the police; unfortunately, all attempts were in vain. The victim died on the spot. The area where the accident occurred was cordoned off with tape. Officers conducted an investigation and took witness statements. They also had the driver undergo a breath and saliva test. He was found not to have consumed alcohol, but the preliminary saliva test indicated that he may have been under the influence of drugs. The man was arrested and taken to the police station. A public health doctor took blood from the man there. This will be analyzed by the NFI, as it is important for the investigation to know how much influence the man was under at the time of the collision.
