A Moscow motorist caused a major road accident Nov. 5 when he ended up driving into oncoming traffic on a busy, five-lane stretch of Prospekt Mira.
According to a blogger who posted footage of the Mitsubishi Lancer driver's schoolboy error, the man responsible caused a seven-car pileup and was sober at the time.
When asked for an explanation, the driver simply said, "I missed my turning!"
Moscow's Crazy Roads:
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.
