A Lexus crossover, registered to a former police colonel, was involved in a collision that sent it crashing into a shop in the Kuzbass region. This development was reported by the Telegram channel Mash Siberia. Following the incident, witnesses allege that the people inside the vehicle assaulted the eyewitness who witnessed the crash. Mash Siberia provided the account of the event as it unfolded at the scene.
Witnesses say the driver was a man named Kirill. He was accompanied by his father, a former police colonel, and the former officer’s wife was said to have helped with the assault. The vehicle was described as a Lexus and was seen by bystanders as it plowed into the storefront along Stroitelnaya Street in Yurga. The eyewitness recounted that a short confrontation occurred after the crash when the passengers reacted to the witnessing bystander who spoke to them about the accident. The bystander was reportedly subjected to a physical beating in the street following the encounter.
According to the same report from Mash Siberia, the former colonel was present at the scene and was separated from the assault by attending officers. The source notes that the former colonel did not face immediate restraint from the responding police, but rather the officers moved him away from the ongoing confrontation. The bystander, Ruslan, sustained a concussion and an open fracture to the arm during the attack. Relatives of Ruslan indicated that Kirill was released without a formal police protocol being applied at the time. Ruslan was transported to a hospital for treatment and planned to file a formal statement with the police later that day.
This incident follows earlier reports of injuries tied to collisions involving law enforcement assets, including another collision between a police truck and a minibus in Volzhsky. The broader context of such events has prompted local observers to call for stricter supervision and clearer procedures in cases involving current and former law enforcement personnel. The city of Yurga authorities have not released additional public statements at the time of the update, and investigations are expected to continue as Ruslan pursues a formal complaint with the authorities. Mash Siberia’s coverage emphasizes that the investigation will focus on the chain of events at the scene, the conduct of all involved, and the potential role of the drivers and passengers in the injuries reported by Ruslan and his relatives.
