In Ufa, a police officer off duty, who had been drinking, caused two separate crashes that damaged four vehicles. This incident was reported by the Telegram channel Mash Batash. The first collision involved the officer’s patrol car colliding with two cars that were stopped at a red light. Surveillance footage shows a white car first striking a dark-colored crossover, which then swerved into the right lane. The police car subsequently hit a stationary Skoda Octavia. During the ensuing confrontation, one of the vehicle drivers struck the officer a number of times in response to the crash [Mash Batash via Telegram].
In the second incident, the officer crossed into the oncoming lane and collided with another car. The force of that impact caused an SUV to overturn due to the inertia of the involved vehicles. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported in either crash [Mash Batash via Telegram].
