Sergey Mironov’s limousine knocked down a courier at the crossing
In Moscow on Sretenka on Wednesday afternoon there was an accident, one of the participants of which was the leader of “Fair Russia” Sergei Mironov. The driver of his official foreign car was driving around a traffic jam and knocked down a food delivery man on a bicycle at the crossing. As stated in the Presidential Administration, the courier violated the rules, as he did not dismount. The victim is in the hospital – Mironov claims that he asked to call an ambulance.
In the center of Moscow on Wednesday afternoon, June 8, a Korean Genes sedan with a flashing light on the roof hit a cyclist courier of one of the food delivery services. The accident happened on Sretenka Street when the courier was crossing a pedestrian crossing.
Paramedics arrived at the scene and provided first aid to the victim. He was taken to the hospital.
At the same time, the driver of a foreign car with a flashing blue beacon hurried to twist the license plates of the car and remove the flasher, transmits Telegram channel Mash with reference to eyewitnesses of the incident.
There is one-way traffic on Sretenka Street. At the same time, two lanes are intended for public transport. On the video recordings From the scene of the accident, you can see how the deputy’s car is trying to bypass the traffic jam by driving into one of the public transport lanes with the flashing lights on. At this time, a courier rode a bicycle to the pedestrian crossing. According to the rules of the road, he had to cross the carriageway on foot.
The driver of a foreign car at the same time declaredthat the cyclist “jumped out on him”.
Later, information spread that the chairman of the Just Russia – For Truth party, Sergei Mironov, was in the car.
“I asked for an ambulance”
As he later wrote in his Telegram channel Mironov himself, he really rode in this car.
I am very grateful to the ambulance, which arrived in a matter of minutes and rendered assistance to the victim. He is hospitalized with a leg injury. I really hope the victim recovers quickly. I will definitely monitor his health and help him recover.”— promised the leader of the fair Russians.
Later Telegram channel SHOT found outthat in the cabin of a foreign car with a flasher, in addition to Mironov, there was another passenger.
“Mironov sat in the car for about an hour after the accident on Sretenka, and he did not leave the passenger compartment. Witnesses did not see him, street cameras also politics not captured. The victim was already taken away, the inspectors arrived, but Mironov did not appear on the street. The very heavily tinted Genes made it impossible to see who was sitting in the front passenger seat. But, presumably, it was there that Mironov was all this time.
After all, the seat behind the driver was occupied by a certain lady.
His Genes, accompanied by several other cars, left the scene of the accident about more than an hour after the incident, ”the publication says.
Interestingly, in April last year, a VIP car already got into an accident – it collided with a Hyundai Solaris in the Zamoskvoretsky district of Moscow. Then the side of the car was damaged.
In total, the car has been in operation for 3 years 9 months and during this time it has traveled more than 300 thousand kilometers. All this time, the foreign car was driven by 40-year-old Dmitry Morgun, a driver with more than 20 years of experience (besides him, the deputy is driven by two more drivers). By the way, he drove Mironov also in those days when the politician led the upper house of parliament.
“The cyclist broke the rules”
Elena Krylova, Press Secretary of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation told RIA Novosti agencythat the injured courier himself violated the rules of the road.
However, this does not exclude the possibility that the driver should have followed the road more closely in this place, said in an interview with Gazeta.Ru, an auto lawyer from the Freedom of Choice public movement» Sergey Radko.
But in any case, here is a pedestrian crossing, here the driver should have been more attentive, so we can talk about his fault.
Because a pedestrian with the same speed could be without a bicycle, but run. And this does not relieve the driver of either the obligation to give way or the responsibility if he did not do so.he noted.
According to him, the fact of twisted numbers in this case will not affect the determination of the culprit of the accident.
In judicial practice, there is a rather unambiguous interpretation: if a driver knocks down a cyclist, scooter or just a pedestrian at a pedestrian crossing, then, as a rule, he is always to blame.
Although in this case I do not exclude that the blame can be put on the cyclist.the expert concluded.
