Go to the Photo Bank of KP. An unpleasant incident occurred in Kazan, resulting in property damage and frayed nerves. In the Aviastroitelny district of the city, a huge block of snow fell from the roof of a multi-apartment building No. 7 on Industrial Street, landing directly on a passing car. The driver miraculously survived, but the car was seriously damaged – the powerful impact completely shattered the front and rear windows. The prosecutor's office has already started investigating this matter, the press service of the supervisory authority reported. The aftermath of the incident was captured on video: a witness recorded how the car owner bitterly showed his vehicle, which had turned into a pile of shards due to the accident. According to preliminary reports, the cause of the incident was negligence on the part of the management company – the UK "Housing and Utilities of the Aviastroitelny District" did not carry out timely and quality snow and ice removal from the roof of the building. The prosecutor's office of the Aviastroitelny district has issued a proposal to eliminate violations and demanded that the management company not only promptly restore the roofs to proper condition but also compensate the citizen for the material damage caused to his property.
