Driver who rammed the doors of the Novotel in Moscow City refused a medical examination

Refusal of testing and detention

The driver who rammed the doors of the Novotel hotel in Moscow City refused to undergo a medical examination: 30-year-old Magomed A. declined to breathe into a breathalyzer or give samples, reports the Telegram channel 'Mash'. Witnesses claim the man was drunk. He has now been detained, and for refusing the medical examination he faces a fine and suspension of his driving license.

What happened at the hotel

The incident became known on the afternoon of November 9: the man attempted to drive his car through the revolving doors of the Novotel hotel. Having covered only half of the obstacle, he got out of the car and danced a lezginka. Footage from witnesses shows the white car crashing into the hotel's glass doors, which crack from the impact, while the driver continues trying to enter the building. An investigation into the incident is underway.

Context

Earlier, other road incidents also made it into the same news feed: a fight broke out in Nizhny Novgorod between a driver and a driving instructor at a bus stop, and in Novosibirsk, according to reports, a husband ran over his wife with a car and refused to hand her over to medics. These cases are unrelated to the incident at the Novotel and were mentioned in publications as separate news stories.
