Two people were killed and three more were hospitalized as a result of a head-on collision of two cars in Nizhny Novgorod. The fatal accident, which caught the camera lens of the registrar, was preceded by a race on the road.

The tragic incident occurred at about six o'clock in the evening on April 1 on the Myzinsky bridge. According to the regional traffic police department, the 28-year-old BMW 745i driver made a mistake in driving and drove into the oncoming lane, where he rammed a Volvo XC60 at full speed. At the same time, a source in the law enforcement agencies told the Vremya N newspaper that shortly before the accident, the owner of the car staged a kind of speed bump with a Mercedes-Benz driver and as a result lost control.

The footage shows that the reckless driver flew into the oncoming lane in an attempt to avoid a collision with cars stopped in traffic. The impact was so strong that the Volvo bounced on the road.

The victims of the accident were a 43-year-old Volvo driver and a 24-year-old BMW passenger. The culprit of the collision was hospitalized with a concussion and a fracture. Two BMW passengers, 25 and 40 years old, were also in the hospital.

According to the data https://NN.ru , a BMW driver a few days before the accident on the Myzinsky bridge was caught for a traffic violation involving the deprivation of rights. But at the time of the accident, there was no court decision yet.
