An incident in eastern Moscow on the night of November 14 left three people injured, according to a source cited by local media. The collision occurred on Svobodny Boulevard between a carpool vehicle and a minibus, with reports published by a newspaper. Eyewitness accounts indicate that two passengers from the minibus and one person from the carsharing service sustained injuries. Photos from the scene depicted damaged vehicles after the crash.
Responders had to flip the overturned minibus back onto its wheels following the impact. In the aftermath, a carpool driver allegedly compressed a traffic police car and obstructed traffic by parking other vehicles. The Moscow Region Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs noted that the carpool Haval drew the attention of inspectors because part of its license plate was taped. There were no fatalities reported in this crash, and the driver, born in 2004, along with two passengers, were taken into custody by the police for further proceedings.
Another carpool driver faced an assault while several people were walking dogs in a nearby park. The incident occurred at a parking lot on Olga Forsh Street. Video footage shows a Nissan Qashqai in carpool livery turning and advancing toward the clip’s author, who managed to dart away and seek cover behind trees. Allegations circulated that a dog was stolen from a resident of Saint Petersburg and a plan to hide in an oncoming ride-sharing vehicle was attempted, though the plan did not succeed as the driver tried to steer clear of pedestrians.
In a separate report, a Mercedes vehicle was described as overturned in a head-on collision in Moscow, underscoring the varied incidents connected to ride-sharing and local traffic on that day.
