Many questions remain unanswered about the tragedy involving the traffic accident in Artemida, with authorities working to clarify how the crash occurred that claimed the life of a 15-year-old and determine which of the teenagers was driving. “He’s in shock now. ‘Mom, my friend, mom what did I do? What did we do mom?’. His friend who died tells him ‘take the key and the car’, because my son had no idea how to drive. They came home together, took the keys, took the car.” These are the words of the mother of the 14-year-old who authorities identified as the driver. The woman denied, speaking to Mega TV, that her son was driving the car, which belongs to the family.
Artemida traffic accident: Grief for the 15-year-old
The unfortunate Elion was fatally injured when the car he was riding in with two friends veered off course and crashed into a tree.
The audio evidence obtained by MEGA is shocking. You can hear the maneuvering and then absolute chaos. Video footage captures the car in its final meters before coming to a stop.
The children were three inseparable friends who grew up together and had dreams for their lives. Since Friday, the children’s parents, their friends, and local residents have been visiting the accident site.
Time has “frozen” for 15-year-old Elion’s family. The 15-year-old’s mother arrives at the scene needing support. She kneels and mourns at the spot where her child took his last breath.
The two minors – the driver and the passenger in the back seat – who were injured in the traffic accident remain hospitalized.
The two 15-year-olds will report to police authorities for testimony once they are discharged, in order to determine the causes of the accident.
