In Ivano-Frankivsk, law enforcement officers detained a 23-year-old resident of the Tysmenytsia community who, while intoxicated, unlawfully took possession of a Mercedes-Benz 311 CDI and was involved in a traffic accident. 

The incident occurred on October 26 on the grounds of the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Clinical Hospital. The suspect took advantage of the fact that the owner had left the car unlocked with the keys in the ignition, got behind the wheel, and, while attempting to drive out of the hospital grounds, collided with a tree. As police determined, the suspect did not have a driver’s license. As a result of the collision, the vehicle sustained damage totaling more than 438,000 hryvnias.
