Video: In Kyiv, a BMW crashed into an outdoor patio; the driver was Kirill Ostrovsky, who had previously been tried for a fatal traffic accident
A serious car accident involving two BMWs occurred in downtown Kyiv—one of the cars veered onto the sidewalk, demolished the outdoor terrace of a restaurant, and overturned.
The accident occurred around 11:30 a.m. on Velyka Vasylkivska Street near the “Ukraine” Palace. According to preliminary reports, two BMWs collided.
After the collision, the cars veered off the road, damaging parking bollards, trees, and a road sign, while one of the vehicles plowed into an outdoor terrace.
A 36-year-old driver was injured in the accident—he was hospitalized in satisfactory condition. Law enforcement officials are investigating the circumstances and cause of the accident.
According to sources, Kirill Ostrovsky was behind the wheel of one of the BMWs. In 2018, he caused a fatal accident by hitting a child. In 2022, Ostrovsky was convicted for that accident.
The police are currently investigating all the circumstances of the new accident.
