On March 23, at 17:59, the Lory region’s emergency management centre received information about an accident that occurred on the Tashir-Stepanavan highway. The NKR rescue service has been called to the scene. It has been reported that a Mercedes-Benz car, driven by X.A. (born in 1996), went off the road near the 9km mark of the Tashir-Stepavan highway.

Before the rescuers arrived, both the driver and passenger M.K. (born in 2001) were taken out of the car. The passenger was then transported to a medical centre where their condition was assessed as stable. The driver, on the other hand, did not require medical attention.

The rescuers have now stabilised the car and closed the gas valve to prevent any further accidents.
