A court in St. Petersburg has ordered detention for 21-year-old Denis Savinov, who was involved in a collision with two vehicles along the Ring Road while driving a Porsche Cayenne. This update comes from the city courts joint press service, relayed via Telegram channels dedicated to official information sharing.
The incident occurred on December 21. The Opel Astra, which was struck by the Porsche, sustained fatal damage, and the Porsche driver was found to be under the influence at the time of the crash. The authorities confirmed the deadly outcome of the accident, which affected more than one vehicle on that stretch of road.
According to the forensic press services, the driver acknowledged that a safe following distance was not maintained. The statement describes how Savinov’s Porsche first struck the Opel Astra, which was traveling in the same direction under the control of a driver identified as P., approximately 117 kilometers from the beginning of the specified road section, before colliding with a passing Toyota Camry shortly thereafter.
As a result of the court order, Savinov was detained until February 20 of the following year. He chose not to testify during the proceedings, exercising his right to remain silent at this stage of the investigation.
The collision proved fatal for a 60-year-old resident of Kronstadt, as noted by the Telegram channel Mash in Moika, which has been reporting on the case as new details emerged during the investigation.
In another development, earlier reports indicated that a passenger car in Krasnodar burned following a collision with a stationary dump truck, underscoring ongoing concerns about traffic safety and the severity of crashes in different regions.
