A hockey player’s spouse from Severstal faced online scrutiny after a Telegram channel claimed that a boy was hit in a crosswalk when a car blocked the view of another vehicle. The message also suggested that the couple dislike people with money in Cherepovets, a claim tied to the salary of striker Daniil Vovchenko, reported at 30 million rubles per season.
Yana Vovchenko-Aleksandrova, age 28, spoke to the channel, explaining that another car suddenly entered a driveway and obstructed the line of sight. She described how a girl with her grandfather failed to appear, and she tried to steer her Porsche away from the collision to reduce impact, but a boy was struck. Social media posts soon circulated alleging that Vovchenko-Aleksandrova had behaved rudely on the road and had previously been involved in an accident. She asserted that she is a model driver who follows the rules and keeps safety at the forefront.
A clip went viral showing a Porsche at a crosswalk striking a boy who was crossing with his grandfather. The girl was transported to a medical facility with injuries to the head and leg. Later information identified the vehicle as a Porsche driven by 28-year-old Yana Vovchenko-Aleksandrova, wife of KHL forward Daniil Vovchenko.
Earlier reports mentioned another vehicle collision involving pedestrians in Omsk, resulting in injuries to three people.
