Summary
An 80-year-old man died on July 14 at a gas station in Lysva, Perm Krai, after falling ill while waiting to refuel; paramedics called to the scene could not revive him.
The death is the third linked to Russian gas stations since late June, after a 75-year-old driver died in Karelia and a 43-year-old man died near a station in Chita.
Russia's fuel crisis has left drivers waiting for hours, pushing many regions to cap purchases per visit and ration fuel by license plate number or QR code.
