According to Gintarė Vitkauskaitė-Šatkauskienė, head of the General Prosecutor’s Office Communications Department, the investigation into a significant accident that occurred in Vilnius early on July 4th is ongoing. She confirmed that the vehicles involved in the incident are presumed to be connected to the event, and the individuals who were operating these vehicles will be identified. Their actions are scheduled for evaluation during the formal pre-trial investigation process.
The scope of the pre-trial investigation is focused on potential violations of traffic safety regulations.

Relevant data is currently being collected to establish the precise sequence of events that led to the accident. The prosecutor maintains that the primary objective is to ascertain the exact circumstances surrounding the incident to determine accountability. The department emphasized that the investigation is thorough, aiming to establish facts regarding operational negligence and adherence to traffic laws.
Authorities are working to build a comprehensive case file to address the serious nature of the collision. The focus remains on a detailed forensic review of the evidence gathered to ensure that all responsible parties are identified and held accountable under the law.
