A tragic incident occurred on May 31 in the Paxtachi district of Uzbekistan. A 42-year-old man, who had just purchased a new electric bike, placed children in a trailer and attempted to give them a ride, but due to his carelessness, the vehicle fell into the Narpa canal.

The accident happened in the 'Ukrach' neighborhood. According to eyewitnesses, there were eight people on the electric bike: the man, his wife, their three children, and three other children. The man intended to drive forward along the canal but accidentally reversed, causing the bike to tip over into the water.

Four children aged 3, 6, 9, and 10 drowned. Local residents searched for the bodies throughout the night; three were found that same day, and the fourth was recovered on the morning of June 1.

Two of the deceased were the man's own children, while the other two were neighbors' children. No official information has been released regarding the incident.
