A motorcyclist in the Chelyabinsk region has died after driving into a cow, regional police said in an online statement.
The accident took place in the early hours of Wednesday morning on a road outside Magnitka, according to the statement.
Police added that the 34-year-old man lacked the necessary license to drive a motorcycle and had previously had his category B driving license — allowing him to drive a car — revoked.
Traffic police said they were continuing to look into the circumstances surrounding the accident.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
