If it remains in good condition, then the contractor must receive all 100% of what is under the contract, what he is entitled to. And if it swells up somewhere or, conversely, fails, then you need to beat your hands, force it to be redone. If this is something completely boorish, then all materials should be sent to law enforcement agencies. Just do it personally. We are struggling to find funds to develop the road network throughout the country. Therefore, if money comes here, it is necessary that they be spent in the most rational way, ”the prime minister demanded.

“We realized that the driver can no longer turn on the speed and we do not fit into the turn and go into the abyss. People started screaming in the bus, a strong blow. I started looking for grandchildren. First he found his grandson, he was hanging on the belts, and then the granddaughter, she was thrown out through the glass, ”says the injured Yuri Krivokhizhin.
“At the time of the accident, the child was sleeping on my lap, daughter, I raised my head when the bus entered the turn, and I realized that the speed was too high and it would not go there - that’s it, I pressed the child, then they pulled me out of there,” recalls the injured Vladimir Chepikov.
So far, it has not been possible to establish the names of one dead girl and one survivor. Among the 14 victims were six children.

Local residents say that on this section of the road, accidents fatal occur frequently. Visibility on the winding serpentine is extremely limited.
“My neighbor was somehow killed here too. The driver was riding a motorcycle, she was sitting in the back, and the car also took out the same way as the bus, and he just hit her. He had traumatic brain injuries, and she died,” says local resident Vladimir Goncharov.
"Many people come, they don't know the road, they start to overtake," says local driver Grigory Potapov.

13:39 — REGNUM
The number of victims of a bus falling off a cliff on the Sudak-Feodosiya highway in Crimea has increased. Another passenger died in the Sudak hospital, thus, the death toll in the accident increased to seven people, one of them is a child. Four passengers of the regular bus Sudak-Kerch died on the spot, one died in an ambulance and two more in the hospital, the correspondent reports. IA REGNUM.
The accident occurred the day before, on August 11, at about 17:20: a PAZ (Etalon) bus, following the route Sudak - Kerch, fell off a 50-meter cliff near the Kizil-Tash tract.
According to the Ministry of Health of Crimea, a total of six children were hospitalized with injuries: three were transported from Feodosia to the Simferopol Children's Clinical Hospital at night, one teenager was transferred to the Republican Hospital. Semashko, two more remained in the Feodosia hospital. All children are in a state of varying severity. According to Ukrainian media, among the children on the bus, there was one child from Kyiv ( Ulyana Konopko, 10 years).
The press service of the traffic police of Crimea reports that the three dead in the accident have not yet been identified, the identities of three more have been established (at the time of the traffic police report, there were six victims of the accident). In addition to the seven dead, 13 more people were injured, one of them is in a coma.
Head of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov expressed condolences to the families of the victims and promised to help the survivors financially. “We will now consider the situation, literally by the evening there will be a certificate,” the head of the republic said on the morning of August 12. - These are all visitors from other regions Russian Federation, but they are all our citizens, Russians, so we will see what we can do for them and we will do our best.”
The Ministry of Health promised that, if necessary, the victims would be transferred to more modern hospitals in Russia. “If necessary, a decision will be made to transport patients to the mainland to provide HTMC, but at present this is simply being discussed. Such decisions have not yet been made, since people are being provided with adequate prompt assistance,” the press service of the Crimean Ministry of Health told Kryminform news agency.
The route Feodosia - Sudak is one of the most picturesque in the Crimea, in some places its landscapes resemble the coast of Italy. She is the most dangerous. Imagine the Anapa-Sochi highway, only not equipped with fenders, not illuminated, much narrower, with worst quality asphalt pavement; with turns of 160 degrees with a significant vertical slope. The track is equipped with warnings: "Driver, do not turn off the gear!" - in other words, on the descents on this road it is forbidden to turn off the gear and drive in "neutral", this leads to overheating and brake failure. According to the Investigative Committee, the bus driver “allowed it to tip over into a cliff about 50 meters deep.” It happened on a tight turn downhill. The bus rollover in a corner was most likely due to excess speed - brakes overheating?
“We were descending from the pass, the driver tried to turn on the speed from neutral, but could not. By that time, the brakes had already overheated, - a tourist from Volgograd told Komsomolskaya Pravda. Yuri Krivokhizhen. “Of course it was scary. People saw everything. Everyone understood that we were flying into the abyss. I escaped with bruises, but my granddaughter was unlucky, she had a broken hip and abdominal bruises. My wife and granddaughter are in a hospital in Sudak.”
“When it was already clear that we were falling, the driver himself shouted: “Grab,” recalls another patient of the Feodosia hospital, a tourist from Transbaikalia. Vladimir Chepikov. “I grabbed the child. She got off with a fright, thank God. I thought that the distance was six meters, but they say that it was more.
The bus driver himself survived the accident. Now he is in the hospital, and now he will have a conversation with the investigator.
Head of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov, receiving operational information about what happened, admits that the cause of the accident could be a human factor, but refrains from drawing conclusions "until the investigation is completed." The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on the grounds of a crime under part 3 of article 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Provision of services that do not meet safety requirements, resulting in the death of more than two persons through negligence”).
“The causes and conditions that contributed to the commission of this crime, as well as persons who did not ensure the safety of life and health of bus passengers, are being established. All the circumstances of the incident are being investigated," the Investigative Committee said.
Crimean tracks are often built on blood, as a rule traffic. Residents of Sevastopol remember how for a long time the Ukrainian local authorities then asked (in 2012) to equip a crossing and a stopping complex at an unnamed stop at the beginning of Gorpischenko Street. Until one early morning a Sevastopol guy Pavel Bondarev did not cover two schoolchildren from a foreign car flying at them. The police then reported that the accident occurred due to the fact that the driver lost control, and the stop was not equipped with a curb and markings. After that, a stopping complex appeared there, and crosswalk with speed bumps, and a monument to Pavel, put up with the money of Sevastopol residents.
And now, "in connection with a terrible accident involving passenger bus on the Sudak-Feodosiya highway," the head of the Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, instructed "to urgently work out the possibility of equipping all dangerous sections of the Crimean mountain roads with special fences."
“Now we have a priority task to prevent further similar cases. A project team was immediately created, which is already developing the necessary documentation to install fences on this section of the route,” Aksyonov wrote on his Facebook page. “In addition, an analysis will be carried out as soon as possible, which will identify similar emergency places on other roads in Crimea.”
But it's not just bad roads. Ukrainian-made buses still operate in Crimea, which do not meet Russian standards. There was a shortage of spare parts for them. Yes, and they are released on the routes without proper technical inspection.
“I was invited to work at ATP, an enterprise engaged in intercity transportation in the Crimea, a senior master, - told the correspondent IA REGNUM Crimean Peter. - I looked at the condition in which they release buses for flights, and said that I would not sign under this, is this a criminal liability, do I need it in my old age? You can’t ride in most Crimean buses, they will fall apart on the roads at any moment.”
The head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, also stressed that road carriers are required to strengthen "control over the technical condition of the rolling stock." “If the examination data indicate technical condition bus that got into an accident, then we will organize a total check of the transport fleet, which is involved in road transportation, ”said Aksyonov.
