Yesterday, June 1, at 18:10, the Rescue Service "101" received a report of a possible drowning of a 12-year-old boy in the Uzh river. The incident happened near Zahorska street.
As it turned out, the teenager went to the river with friends. The boys decided to wade it, because the water level there reached only to the waist. But, the boy slipped into a concavity and disappeared. Frightened friends ran home and told their parents who called rescuers.
Divers of the special purpose emergency rescue squad were sent to the scene. At 20:30, divers found the body of the boy. As it turned out, he was carried 100 meters downstream the spot where teenagers were swimming.
Rescuers handed the body over to law enforcement officers that are currently establishing detailed circumstances of the tragic event.
Rescuers call Uzhgorod residents to take care of the safety of their children, especially in the summer, in no way allow them to swim alone. And before letting teenage children go play with friends near a body of water, warn them of all possible dangers. Otherwise, the likelihood of fatal consequence increases.
