Lidiia Kviatkovska, a judge who was wounded in a fatal car accident in Ternopil Oblast on Oct. 29, died in the hospital due to her injuries, local judicial administration authorities announced on Nov. 6.

Kviatkovska, a judge of the Chortkiv district court, had worked in Ukraine's judiciary for 30 years, Ternopil Oblast's Territorial Administration of the State Judicial Administration said.

Kviatkovska was in the car with her son, lawyer Dmytro Kviatkovskyi, when he drove into another lane and collided with an oncoming vehicle, Ukrainska Pravda reported, citing a police spokesperson.

The other vehicle's driver died on the spot, and five people were hospitalized with fractures and other injuries, including Kviatkovska's son and a four-year-old girl.

The lives of those injured are not in danger, Serhii Kretsa, the police spokesperson in Ternopil Oblast, told Ukrainska Pravda.

not a paywall.

We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.

Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
