59-year-old Alexei Zhuravlev, a member of the LDPR faction and leader of the Rodina party, had an accident on Kutuzovsky Prospekt. The parliamentarian, who was riding a BMW motorcycle, fell onto the asphalt and lost control. Due to the incident, two lanes of Kutuzovsky Prospekt were closed to traffic for one hour by the traffic police patrols.
Deputy deputy Tatyana Kalegina told socialbites.ca that Zhuravlev fell from his motorcycle due to the absence of warning signs about removing the road surface and repair work.
“Aleksey Alexandrovich had an accident on Kutuzovsky Prospekt due to irregularities about the ongoing repair work and the absence of warning signs about the removal of the coating.
This is a danger not only for motorcyclists, but also for drivers. Probably someone’s negligence. Or American tricks (laughs – socialbites.ca)”,
He told socialbites.ca.
The interlocutor of the publication noted that his boss is an experienced motorcyclist with experience, “He traveled hundreds of thousands of kilometers across the vast Motherland and Kazakhstan, but in the center of Moscow, due to someone’s negligence, he not only lost control, but also capsized.”
The only person involved in the accident was Zhuravlev. He fell from a motorcycle, injuring his collarbone, but the doctors did not apply a plaster cast – the interlocutor noted that during the day they planned to let the surrogate go home.
“He’s fine. This is not the first time such an injury,” he said.
Zhuravlev’s colleague in the Liberal Democratic Party, State Duma deputy Yaroslav Nilov, promised to find out the situation with the lack of warning road signs on Kutuzovsky Prospekt.
But the accusation so far by the deputy deputy head of road officials doesn’t seem credible, according to Anton Shaparin, vice president of the National Automobile Association.
“First of all, one should understand at what speed limit Zhuravlev was walking, deputy traffic police, judging by the video, he was walking faster than the flow of cars.
He needed to understand that cars were both slowing down and slowing down, but he didn’t.
Shaparin shared his opinion in an interview with socialbites.ca. “You also need to watch how the road workers are marking the speed limits at this place because of the road works. If there is a corresponding sign, then his deputy Zhuravlev will only be blamed for his misfortunes. So far, I’ve leaned more towards the fact that he himself is guilty.
The human rights activist emphasizes that high-profile VIP accidents, including victims on Kutuzovsky Prospekt, regularly get into the news chronicles, the problem is that the old Soviet traffic system for private vehicles along the middle lane still works on this. departure” highway. The absence of a dividing fender several times increases the risk of serious head-on collisions on this street.
“Kutuzovsky Prospekt, like any other highway, should have a distinctive fender. Unfortunately, the movement of private vehicles continues in the middle of this road,
and when driving in the left lane and such a Zhuravlev vice rushes at you along the dividing lane, then you have to run away.
In principle, this should not happen, ”said Anton Shaparin.
Another VIP biker at the hospital

After the accident, doctors diagnosed Gornin with an open comminuted fracture of his leg. The woman driving the Audi was not injured.

It was noted that Gornin was taken to the Presidential State Hospital by ambulance after the accident. Now he works in a medical institution and from there.
