A Moscow resident was found guilty in connection with a crash involving the minister of transport for Bashkortia. The report comes from the Telegram channel Mash Batash, which published a video recording of the incident.
The collision happened on the Mozhaisk Highway in April of the previous year. A Range Rover driven by Alexander Klebanov struck the Toyota that was in front of it and slowing down. The impact triggered airbag deployment, and Klebanov ended up in the leftmost lane. During a subsequent interview with Mash Batash, Klebanov insisted that he had not exceeded the speed limit. The traffic police concluded that the Toyota driver, Yulia Borodach, did not make a safe maneuver to avoid the collision and was therefore deemed at fault for the accident.
Borodach, who disputes the ruling, contends that the court did not properly consider the video evidence that she says proves her innocence. She argues that the video is a critical piece of proof in her favor, and she expressed concern about the financial fallout if the insurer of Klebanov’s Range Rover seeks compensation for repair costs.
According to Borodach, she did not have a remedy to appeal the initial decision in the Kuntsevskiy District Court, prompting her to pursue a challenge at the Moscow City Court. The case highlights ongoing disputes about how accident footage is weighed in judgments and the role of insurance in post-accident settlements, as observed by observers following the matter on social media and local traffic reporting outlets. The developing story continues to draw attention from audiences interested in how road safety, vehicle dynamics, and legal accountability intersect in high-profile incidents.

Meanwhile, similar legal and safety concerns have surfaced in unrelated reports, such as a drunken service station employee in Sakhalin who allegedly stole a car and crashed it into a pole during a pursuit, underscoring broader discussions about responsibility and enforcement in motor vehicle incidents across the region.
