German citizen Dieter Edwin Albrecht, traveling in a rented camper van, was involved in a road accident in the Aktobe region on June 6. His vehicle collided with a Niva parked on the roadway, injuring a woman and a four-month-old child who were inside the second car.
Albrecht has been named a suspect. Both the camper van and the Niva are beyond repair. He is awaiting trial in the town of Alga, living in the damaged motorhome. The parties have not reached a compensation agreement: the victims initially demanded 10 million tenge, then halved the amount, but Albrecht stated he cannot pay that sum.
