The case is simply a tragic reminder of the consequences of bravado and breaking the law by young drivers.
A reconstruction of a tragic night. What precisely happened in Skarysheva?
The incidental occurred on the night of November 10, 2024. According to investigators, a group of 4 teenage Bulgarian citizens decided to take a ride. Behind the wheel of the car, which belonged to the father of 1 of them, sat down 17-year-old boy who never had driving privileges. The way led through the streets of Skarysheva, a tiny town in Radom County.
At 1 point the driver lost control of the vehicle. The car fell off the road at advanced velocity and hit a solid concrete barrier of 1 of the private property with tremendous force. The momentum was so large that the car was completely destroyed. The impact of the collision proved fatal primarily to 1 of the passengers. The youngest of the group, a 15-year-old boy, suffered extended multiple organ injury. Despite immediate rescue and transport to the hospital, his life was not saved. He died shortly after the accident. 2 another passengers, both at the age of 17, besides suffered injuries, but their condition allowed them to recover.
The prosecution's key findings. Driver without clearance and under the influence of drugs
The accident investigation was conducted by Radom–West territory Attorney's Office. From the very beginning, it was crucial to establish all the circumstances that led to the tragedy. The deficiency of a driver's licence was uncontested, but prosecutors besides commissioned detailed tox screens. Their results proved devastating to the young driver.
As D.A. Robert Bińczak reported, a 17-year-old man was diagnosed with narcotics. This means that the boy was driving not only illegally but besides under the influence of drugs, which was a gross danger to road safety. This uncovering has become a key evidence in the case and a basis for making highly serious allegations. Driving under the influence of specified substances drastically impairs perception, consequence time and the ability to measure the situation on the road, which was most likely a direct origin of failure of control of the car.
Friday, July 5, 2025, after collecting complete evidence, Radom territory Attorney’s Office sent to court an indictment against, present 18-year-old Bulgarian. A young man will be liable for causing a traffic accident with fatality, being under the influence of a narcotics agent and not having the requisite powers.
What legal consequences endanger an 18-year-old? Severe punishment for fatal accident
The indictment went to the Radom territory Court, which will now deal with the case. A young man was charged with Article 177 § 2 of the Criminal Code in a fugitive with another regulations. This provision concerns the origin of an accident resulting in the death of another person. The specified fact of being under the influence of drugs is simply a very aggravating circumstance.
According to Polish law, for specified a crime to the accused is punishable by imprisonment for six months to 8 years. The court will surely take into account all the circumstances: the young age of the perpetrator, but besides the gross violation of regulations – the deficiency of a driving licence and driving under the influence of drugs that led to the death of his 15-year-old colleague. This case is simply a tragic example, which shows that the Polish justice strategy treats drivers threatening the lives of others, regardless of their age.
A tragedy that shook the local community. Liability Appeal
The accident in Skaryszew caused a immense stir not only among local residents, but besides reopened a nationwide discussion on road safety. It focuses on 2 key problems: driving by minors without a licence and expanding drug driving.

Every year hundreds of accidents caused by young, inexperienced drivers happen on Polish roads. Police statistic clearly show that this age group is 1 of the most vulnerable.
