Georgy Avgustovsky, the driver of the truck hit by the car of actor Sergei Puskepalis, in his first interview with mk.ru said about the day of the tragedy.
According to Avgustovsky, the accident lasted literally two to four seconds. “In those seconds, my life completely changed. I lost my health, my job. Now I don’t know when and by whom I will go to work. Just, maybe a watchman,” he shared. The man admitted that after the accident, 15 ribs and one scapula were broken, and he suffered a concussion three days before the Ilizarov apparatus was removed from his right hand. “There is a nerve explosion in the head ahead, the right eye does not close, the upper lip does not lift, the left side of the head constantly hurts due to craniocerebral injury,” he listed the injured.
Avgustovsky said that on the day of the tragedy he went from Pereslavl-Zalessky to Rostov in an empty truck. “I remember Ford flying around the corner. First, it hit the heavy truck in front of me with a tangential side blow. But there was such a ‘touch’ that the front wheel blew out. Then Ford started somersaulting. About twice they flipped over and flew into my truck’s windshield. ” He explained the details of what happened.
At the same time, the man noted that neither relatives nor acquaintances of the artist contacted him. “The inspector called once and said that the investigation is ongoing. But it’s not my fault! I was driving in my own lane and they lost control of the corner, they hit a truck and then they hit me. That’s how life turned upside down in a matter of seconds, ”Avgustovsky concluded.
On September 20, an accident occurred on the M-8 Kholmogory highway, in which Puskepalis and his driver, Alexander Sinitsyn, died. The car they were in collided with two trucks.
