A high speed event near the president’s residence in Chuvashia captured broad attention after a government black Hyundai Palisade was recorded reaching 190 kilometers per hour on a wet road. Reports circulated through the Telegram channel 112 and local witnesses weighed in on the incident.
According to the footage, the driver of the state-issued SUV was seen in the Krasnochetaisky district early on September 8, around 5:30 in the morning. Local residents described rain conditions and noted that the vehicle appeared to be moving at an escape speed on the highway. This description was shared in the report, highlighting concerns about the behavior of a government vehicle in daily traffic.
Officials stated that a police investigation has begun into the matter. The driver could face significant consequences, including the possibility of losing his position. In parallel, the report noted that the penalty for speeding could include a six month disqualification from driving as part of the sanctions being considered.
In related incidents, it was reported that a separate event occurred in Miass where an excavator tipped into a deep pit, and the bucket cabin struck a nearby parked car. The impact damaged the trunk and rear fender of the sedan, though no injuries were reported. The incident drew attention to heavy machinery operations and road safety in industrial areas.
Earlier, in St. Petersburg, a different scene captivated the public when young people rode a scooter with a sofa balanced on it along a city sidewalk, illustrating the diverse nature of traffic-related news across regions.
These occurrences underscore ongoing conversations about traffic safety, vehicle oversight, and the responsibilities that accompany the use of state vehicles in everyday life.
