A glamorous oligarch's daughter has been has been detained after claims that she "jumped a red light and rammed into a crowd", resulting in the deaths of six people.
There was carnage on the streets of the Ukrainian city Kharkiv, after a Lexus driven by Alyona Zaitseva struck a VW Touareg before completely overturning and landing on its wheels. It then went on to plough through people waiting on the pavement at a pedestrian crossing.
The dead included a 15-year-old schoolgirl.
Among the seriously wounded is a woman who is seven months pregnant, described as being in a grave condition in hospital.
Armed bodyguards of the 20-year-old heiress reportedly drove up in two jeeps immediately after the crash and protected her from a furious crowd who witnessed the incident.
One onlooker who was trying to help the injured said: "It's like a war zone."
A shocking video of the aftermath of the crash showed bodies strewn on the pavement.
Zaitseva, the daughter of local energy company multi-millionaire Vasily Zaitsev, was uninjured. The student will be detained initially by police for three days.
Officers said she was found not to have been drinking before the crash. If convicted of causing the crash, she faces up to ten years in jail.
But local bloggers expressed fears that because of her powerful father she will be exonerated, despite witnesses saying she sped through the red light.
The driver of the Touareg, Gennady Dronov, 49, was on a green light when the vehicles collided, according to witnesses.
Three of the dead were named as Elena Berchenko, 25, Yury Neudachin, 24, Oksana Nesterenko, 36.
She’ll skate.
Vasily Grigoryevich Zaytsev (Russian: Васи́лий Григо́рьевич За́йцев; IPA: [vɐˈsʲilʲɪj ɡrʲɪˈɡorʲjɪvʲɪtɕ ˈzajtsɨf]; 23 March 1915 – 15 December 1991) was a Soviet sniper and a Hero of the Soviet Union during World War II. Prior to 10 November, he killed 32 Axis soldiers with a standard-issue rifle.[1] Between 10 November 1942 and 17 December 1942, during the Battle of Stalingrad, he killed 225 enemy soldiers, including 11 snipers.[1]
Why is she driving a Lexus?!
Russian/Ukrainian drivers are unquestionably the worst on the planet. If you don’t believe that, search for “russian drivers” on YouBoob.
I think it is somehow related to the fact that they own like 95% of all dash cameras in the World. You’d see the same or worse elsewhere but rarely filmed.
In Russia, you NEED a dash cam!
How insensitive of the reporter.
She didn’t have a recent conversion to islam, did she?
She was allegedly drag racing (no alcohol or drug content found in blood test).
Not guilty. I’d upload the pictures here if doing so didn’t require an MIT degree
YouTube “Russian Car Crash” to see what sorts of drivers are on the road there. It appears that anyone can get a drivers license at the local 7-11.
Vodka requires the innocent to have dash-cams.
She looks like she’s already had work done on her face.
She might have more work done while in prison.
No worries. Someone posted a few. She is a silicone/botox queen.
Real shame.. she’s not bad looking :p
She may learn about real world life the hard way now (if her pop doesn’t get her out of it, which I’m hoping doesn’t happen).
