The driver of a BMW X6 who fell from the third floor of the Galereya shopping center parking lot in Krasnodar may not have had time to recover after a sharp rise. Rafael Arakelyan, a friend of the deceased, told socialbites.ca about this. According to him, the man was an experienced driver and not a “driving enthusiast”.
“I have known this guy for a year or two. We often traveled together, and he, on the contrary, told us, the younger one, to go quietly. He was not a racing fan. In one of the video frames in the parking lot, it can be seen that there was a rise in the entry. As a driver with 15 years of experience, I can say this And when you get there until you reach the top of the climb, you can’t see any further. This car is fast, very fast, like a sports car. When it approached the climb, there was a sharp turn to the right and I was going to get there. I won’t have time. The distance there was small. He also had a much larger car – a Toyota Land Cruiser 200, which was three times larger and longer. This guy has a lot of driving experience. It was an optical illusion. Also, the coating there is slippery. I could not climb the spikes in winter. “There is a polished surface, it is difficult to stop,” said a friend of the deceased.
When Rafael was asked if he had stopped by the Glereya shopping center parking lot before today, he did not know.
“I don’t know. But if he had visited there often, this would not have happened. Because I know this man, he is sensible and has good judgment… He is a well-behaved, good boy, he does not allow anything unnecessary. Moreover, he was not alone. Besides the girl, there was also a child with him. This is not the type of person to drive. Some claimed that he wanted to show off in front of the girl. No, this is a shame. This man helped many drug and alcohol addicts by building a rehabilitation center in the city. He set an example for all of us and lived by that example,” said a friend of the deceased driver.
