The scene unfolded in the Gergebil district of Dagestan, where officers from the regional interior ministry reported a troubling discovery on the road. A woman’s body was found by the police along the roadside, and the information was relayed by the Telegraph channel of the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs. In a separate note, authorities say a Zhiguli driver who was detained stated that he had jumped from the moving vehicle, an assertion that is now part of the ongoing investigation.
In the district’s reporting channel, BES officers located the woman’s body on the shoulder of a public road. Hours after the grim find, investigators identified and located the driver who had been in the victim’s vehicle prior to the discovery. He was taken into custody and handed over to the department for questioning. The ministry’s account indicates that the driver claimed the victim offered to be released, and that after some time he realized there was no passenger in the car. He then returned and found the woman dead on the road, a detail the investigators are carefully assessing in light of the existing evidence.
The detainee told investigators that the woman had jumped from the moving car, struck a fence, and died at the scene. Police officers are testing this version against other lines of inquiry as the case unfolds, weighing the driver’s statements against physical evidence and witness testimony collected at the scene.
Earlier reports described another incident in Mineralnye Vody, located in Stavropol Territory, where an elderly Zhiguli driver crashed into a pole. Paramedics arriving at the site indicated that the man likely died before the collision impact, and there were no injuries to pedestrians. This separate incident is noted as part of the area’s ongoing traffic-related investigations, highlighting the broader concerns about road safety and driver behavior in the region.
