The cause of a fatal accident involving football player Alexander Karakin could be aquaplaning (loss of grip of the car’s tires with the road surface – approx. socialbites.ca), which occurs due to wet asphalt. An acquaintance of the deceased, Nikita, told socialbites.ca about this. According to him, semi-professional sports tires were installed on Karakin’s car.
“I don’t know why, but I guess the car had semi-professional sports tires and the car was caught in aquaplaning. Where did the water come from, it rained all over the city like yesterday, maybe the road didn’t have time to dry. Maybe the roads are wet because of the municipalities watering the roads and they are also likely to be wet,” he said. spoke.
Nikita noted that Karakin began to get involved in cars in 2014-2015, even then he had a “charged” car. According to him, the former Khimki football player also played in the amateur football league.
“He was working in our company, he was already interested in cars at that time, he had such a charged car. He also played for our team in the amateur football league, he had such a hobby. The person himself was very pleasant, open, friendly, generally not confrontational. It’s very unfortunate that this happened. From the moment he stopped working at our enterprise, we did not have particularly close contact with him. I followed his professional and sports achievements.”
Nikita added that people come to the Minsk Highway to talk, and on Thursdays car clubs have held races controlled by police teams for the past three years. According to him, all this time the situation with street racing was under control.
“Historically, people gather there, talk about their interests, sometimes they have some kind of races. But car clubs, chat rooms always go there on Thursdays. There have always been police teams there. For the last 3 years, police teams are there every Thursday in and out. “Everyone’s paperwork is being checked, unregistered vehicles are being confiscated. Overall the situation seemed to be under control, but this time apparently something got out of control,” he concluded.
