A woman rammed an armored military vehicle in eastern Russia, regional traffic police said Wednesday.
"A woman [aged about 50] driving a Toyota Allion failed to maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle in front of her, and crashed into a combat reconnaissance patrol vehicle," police in the Amur Region said in a statement.
The woman sustained minor injuries in the accident, which took place in foggy conditions, police said.
"The woman was wearing a seatbelt, which saved her from more serious injuries. The airbag also deployed. However, she still needed medical attention — she had an abrasion on her forehead and a slight concussion," police told RIA Novosti.
The armored vehicle was en route to a military facility and left the scene unscathed.
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.
