Investigative Committee refutes claims that  police bus involved in  accident  was escorting Prime Minister`s motorcade

ArmInfo.  A criminal case has been launched in connection with the accident involving a Nissan and a police bus on the Margara-Vanadzor-Tashir highway, which  resulted  in the death of one person and injures to 12 others, as  reported by the Investigative Committee of Armenia.

The Committee has officially refuted information circulating online  regarding the guilt of the bus allegedly accompanying the Prime  Minister's motorcade. "On April 11, 2026, a criminal case was  initiated in relation to the traffic accident. The misinformation   circulating online claimed that the accident was  caused by a police  bus belonging to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. However, an  inspection of the scene revealed that a Nissan collided with a  Hyundai bus in the oncoming lane. Another misinformation relates to  the claim that a police escort bus was following the motorcade of the  Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, which is also not true.  The police officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were   traveling to the Lori region in a vehicle designated for  their  official duties," the statement reads.
