In the village of Kaltası, within Bashkiria, a traffic officer collided with a pole while pursuing a driver who stood near the inspectors and attempted to flee. This incident was reported by utv.ru
According to the report, the Ford Focus driver halted roughly 300 meters away from the inspection point. When one officer approached the vehicle, the driver abruptly turned and attempted to disappear. A second patrol vehicle, a Renault Logan, pursued the fleeing car, but during the chase the Ford’s tire reportedly blew out, causing the police car to collide with a street pole.
The man who fled was detained later that same day. He claimed he forgot the vehicle documents at home on his way to a scheduled appointment and wanted to avoid contact with the traffic authorities. In total, five administrative violation protocols were issued against him for various infractions.
Also noted in the report is a detail about the vehicle: it had previously operated as a taxi in Moscow before the incident, a fact that surfaced as part of the investigation. The ambulance subsequently arrived at the scene, and medical personnel attended to the officers and the driver as needed. This sequence of events underscores the dangers that can arise during routine traffic enforcement and the importance of staying compliant with road rules to prevent confrontations and accidents in the line of duty.
