The regional Ministry of Transport apologized for the incident and stated that an investigation was conducted regarding the event. During the investigation, it was found that the boy was in a "blind" zone, so the driver could not see him. As soon as the doors made contact with the passenger, the "anti-trap" system was activated. The doors opened immediately. The driver was reminded about safety procedures and received a warning, added the relevant ministry.
