Question marks surrounding the accident of Adam C. (39): He swept away his mother with a pram. No toxicology? The police are also dealing with the actions of the mayor

A source from the news server Novinky.cz said that the driver was not tested for toxicology, which he said was “forbidden”. “At the same time, toxicology reveals the presence of substances in the body that the police cannot detect, for example, with a drug test. Samples are taken from blood or urine,” writes Novinky.cz. According to Novinek, the police normally order toxicology for similarly serious matters, not only for traffic accidents, but also for violent crimes. Police spokesman However, Jan Daněk described the procedure as standard in this case. “The driver submitted to a drug and alcohol test. Both tests were negative. In these cases, further toxicological tests are not done,” he told Novinkám.

Pressure on paramedics

Another unanswered question is why Jiří K., the emergency room manager of the Motol hospital, was there and pressured the paramedics to take Adam C. to the hospital. Adam C. answered that the mayor from Motolo is well-known and lives nearby. But, did he pressure the emergency responders to take the culprit of the accident to the hospital quickly? The police are also interested in that. “The pressure was said to be enormous, the crew complained about it to the police officers present at the scene of the accident. The mayor had previously confirmed that he knew the AC driver. He also figures as a member of the board of directors in one of his companies,” Novinky reported.

The spokeswoman for the rescue service, Jana Poštová, told Novinkám that the rescuers on the spot acted in accordance with the applicable legislation in all cases, and there is no internal investigation on their part. “In terms of what you mention, we are providing full cooperation to the police in the further investigation. Furthermore, it will be up to the rescuers individually, but we cannot be specific” added Poštová.

Investigation

Adam C. told Blesk that he cannot comment on anything due to the ongoing investigation, but that he regrets what happened. “I offer maximum support and help to the family,” he said in a report for Blesk.

Police spokesman Jan Rybanský said about the accident that the investigation is still ongoing. No charges have yet been filed. According to police source Novinek the police officers are waiting for expert opinions from the field of medicine and transport. Detectives are also interviewing witnesses and examine additional camera footage.
