A vehicle sustained significant damage and could no longer be driven.

One animal involved had to be euthanized due to the extent of its injuries, while another, though limping, is being cared for by its owners.

In a separate incident in the capital, a pedestrian was struck by a car yesterday afternoon on a crosswalk. The driver hit the man for unknown reasons. The pedestrian also collided with four other vehicles, all of which suffered minor damages. Following the incident, the injured man was taken to the hospital for examination and is expected to remain there for a few days; however, authorities report that his condition is stable under the circumstances.

The police are conducting further investigations regarding the incident, confirming that alcohol or drugs were not involved. The driver of the car was an older gentleman.

Earlier today, at around 6:30 AM, a vehicle crashed into a lamppost and a sign at the roundabout near Mylnuna. The driver fled the scene after the accident. Neighbors heard the crash and alerted the police. Authorities have recovered several parts from the vehicle at the site and have identified it as a silver-gray car or delivery vehicle. The police are urging anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
