In Moscow, they are looking for the culprit of a terrible accident on the street in 1905

On the morning of October 2, a truck at full speed crashed into a taxi that was pulling away from the curb at the northern exit of the Ulitsa 1905 Goda metro station. As a result, the taxi car was literally flattened between the truck and the bus in front of the passenger car. The perpetrator of the accident fled the scene.

The moment of the accident was recorded by traffic police cameras. The recording shows that the passenger gets into a taxi, which was waiting for her at the exit from the lobby of the Ulitsa 1905 Goda metro station. The car immediately moves off, but literally a second later a truck crashes into it at high speed. Neither the driver nor the passenger of the taxi had any chances: the truck crushed the back of the taxi under it, and the front was flattened by the commercial bus standing in front. The identities of the dead have not been released, although there is evidence that the taxi driver was 30 years old and his passenger was 37.

The truck driver fled the scene immediately after the accident. But his identity has already been established, and now the 27-year-old citizen of Belarus, who caused the fatal accident, is wanted by the police.

The work of law enforcement agencies and emergency services continues at the scene of the accident, it is coordinated by the first deputy prosecutor of the Central Administrative District Maxim Chikmarev.

Traffic along the street 1905 is still limited. The public transport stop “Metro” Ulitsa 1905 Goda “(northern lobby)” is temporarily canceled: routes m35, 379, s344, s364 and s369 pass by it.

In the capital’s Deptrans, drivers are asked, if possible, to choose ways to bypass the scene.
