Following a road incident in the Tyumen region, authorities report that three individuals were ejected from a vehicle that subsequently overturned. The accident investigation is ongoing, and officials from regional traffic police are providing updates on the scene.
The collision occurred near the village of Golyshmanovo, along the dirt roadway described as the 3rd kilometer of the route between Middle Ugly and Ust Little Ugly. A 41-year-old local man was driving a Toyota Corolla when the car veered into a ditch and flipped after leaving the roadway. In situations like this, a loss of control on uneven surfaces can lead to dramatic and dangerous rollovers, underscoring the importance of maintaining appropriate speed for road conditions and keeping a secure lane position on rural tracks.
All three occupants were ejected from the vehicle as it rolled over, and none of them were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash. The driver sustained fatal injuries at the scene, while the two passengers faced injuries. A 28-year-old passenger suffered rib and head injuries, and a 50-year-old passenger escaped with injuries. Reports indicate that both passengers were under the influence of alcohol and declined medical hospitalization, a decision that can carry serious consequences given the risk of delayed symptoms or complications in the hours after a crash. In drunk driving scenarios, responders typically monitor for delayed medical concerns and provide guidance accordingly, regardless of initial outward appearances of stability.
Statements from the men suggest they had been drinking and decided to take the old dirt road to the village to avoid inspection by traffic authorities. This pattern—drinking prior to driving and attempting to evade enforcement—contributes to a higher likelihood of severe outcomes for all involved and highlights why sobriety checks arrive at such incidents. Road safety campaigns emphasize that designating a sober driver, using seat belts, and choosing safer routes can prevent devastating consequences on rural roads and beyond.
In related regional reporting, authorities have noted other fatal crashes in different areas, including a recent triple-accident incident in the Kuban region. These reports collectively reinforce the critical need for adherence to speed limits, proper restraint use, and cautious driving on uneven surfaces in all weather conditions. Traffic safety reminders from law enforcement, hospital partners, and road safety organizations stress that even short trips can turn dangerous if drivers underestimate risk, especially when alcohol is involved and restraints are not employed. Public safety messages continue to urge drivers to plan ahead, buckle up, and avoid risky behaviors that increase the chance of life-changing harm.
