What happened in Chelyabinsk

In Chelyabinsk, the driver of a Lada Granta crashed at high speed through a fence and into the wall of a building. This was reported on the page 'Traffic Police of the City of Chelyabinsk' on the VK social network, which is cited by Gazeta.Ru.

Details according to the Traffic Police

According to preliminary data from the agency, a young man born in 2000, driving a Lada Granta, 'under circumstances that have not been established' was moving through a parking lot, struck a fence made of corrugated metal sheeting and concrete blocks, then continued moving and crashed into the facade of the building. The injured driver was hospitalized, but he could not be saved. An investigative team arrived at the scene.

What is visible in the footage

The video showing the moment of the crash reveals that the white car was moving quickly toward the fence, gaining speed. From the impact with the concrete block and the building, the engine compartment was completely crushed, and the front axle shifted toward the cabin. The causes and exact circumstances of the accident have not yet been established — the police report describes them as preliminary. It should be noted that this is a separate incident: the same outlet previously reported on another case in Novosibirsk, where a car hit a concrete block and launched into the air as if from a ramp.
