A Mercedes S600 thought to belong to Krasnodar Governor Alexander Tkachyov rammed a BMW sedan on Moscow's Tverskaya Ulitsa when running a red light late Tuesday, GZT.ru reported Wednesday, citing a police source.
No injuries were reported in the crash, the latest in a series of traffic incidents involving cars equipped with flashing blue lights, or migalki, which authorize their users to ignore traffic rules.
Moscow police denied the accident, Interfax reported, but several LiveJournal bloggers witnessed the crash and posted photos on their blogs.
Witnesses disagreed on whether Tkachyov was riding in the car. His representatives denied that he owns a Mercedes and said he was in Rostov-on-Don on Tuesday.
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.
