On March 17, in Biržai, Lithuania, a traffic incident occurred around 10:42 AM at the intersection of J. Janonio Street, where a 63-year-old man driving a "Škoda Octavia" failed to yield while turning left. As he maneuvered in front of oncoming traffic, he struck a minor riding a "Derbi" moped, who was born in 2009. The impact necessitated medical assistance for the young rider, who was later treated on an outpatient basis.

The accident has raised concerns regarding road safety, particularly for younger riders in urban areas. This incident emphasizes the critical importance of adherence to traffic rules and the need for vigilance from drivers, especially when navigating intersections. Being aware of the surroundings and yielding to those on the main road can prevent such unfortunate occurrences.

A pre-trial investigation has been opened to further understand the circumstances that led to this collision. Authorities aim to address the underlying issues behind such accidents to improve safety protocols and educate drivers on the importance of careful driving, especially in residential areas where children and adolescents may be present on the roads.
