An accident occurred on Friday afternoon near Rymšiškiai, within the Šalčininkų district, involving a motorcycle and a bicycle. According to police reports, the collision took place around 3 p.m. The vehicle involved was a motorcycle equipped with a fireplace, operated by a minor born in 2011.
This motorcycle struck a second minor, who was riding a bicycle. Both young individuals sustained injuries and were transported to the hospital for treatment. Reports indicate that the cyclist suffered more severe injuries.
Authorities have launched an investigation to ascertain the precise cause of the accident that resulted in injuries.

These motorcycles must have an engine displacement greater than 50 cm³ but not exceeding 125 cm³, and a power output not exceeding 11 kW. The details surrounding the accident in the Šalčininkai district are currently under review by investigators. The involvement of minors, both in operating the vehicle and being the pedestrian/cyclist, has drawn attention to safety protocols for young people.
The investigation aims to establish liability and determine the sequence of events leading to the injuries sustained by the older and younger parties involved.
