Denial of the connection between the incident and the newly established bridge
The deputy of Tehran's traffic police further emphasized that this accident occurred several meters before the newly established bridge on Sattar Khan Street. According to him, attributing this incident to the unsafe condition of the road and bridge is not supported by the traffic police, and this accident has no connection to the bridge itself.

This incident can serve as a warning for pedestrians to respect traffic laws and avoid crossing at unauthorized locations. Safety on the streets depends not only on pedestrians but also on drivers, and both groups must exercise caution and adhere to the laws to prevent unfortunate incidents.
