A Russian embassy car in Poland lost control on one of Warsaw's busy roads, crashed into barriers, and overturned.

This was reported by TVP World, according to Ukrinform.

The incident occurred on Saturday, October 18, on Wisłostrada. A Dacia car, driven by a technical employee of the embassy, lost control on an overpass and crashed into energy-absorbing barriers. Debris from the barriers flew onto cars traveling in the opposite direction.

Firefighters, police, and emergency services quickly arrived at the scene. Despite the dramatic appearance of the accident, the police classified it as a “collision” rather than a serious traffic accident. The driver was fined, according to Warsaw police spokesman Kamil Sobótka.
