Three people were killed over the weekend in two unrelated road accidents in Moscow involving a Lexus and a Bentley sedan, Interfax reported Monday.
The Lexus struck and killed two unidentified Kyrgyz natives, aged 37 and 21, on a crosswalk in southern Moscow, the report said.
The abandoned car was found not far from the scene, but its owner told police that he had allowed another man to drive it, Newsru.com reported, without identifying either man.
The Bentley killed Igor Ilyin, 47, near the Kashirskaya metro station, Lifenews.ru said.
The car’s owner, Emil Darzhonov, 29, said the car was stolen, and the two girls who were detained driving it told police that an unidentified friend had been in the driver’s seat during the accident but fled.

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.
