One Dead, Two Hospitalized: How Not to Organize an Illegal Street Race – A Beginner’s Guide

According to preliminary reports, the race was organized by a few so-called “enthusiasts” — you know, the kind of people who treat traffic laws as optional reading and consider safety a sign of weakness. The setting? A place where people live. Where kids ride their bikes, and elderly ladies go for quiet walks. What could possibly go wrong?

And then — shocker — one of the drivers lost control of their vehicle. Were the brakes faulty? Was the steering wheel just for show, like some sort of ironic dashboard ornament? No one knows for sure. But the result was tragically predictable: the car plowed straight into the spectators. A 17-year-old girl didn’t even have time to realize it would be the last thing she’d ever see. She died instantly. Two others were rushed to the hospital.

Authorities have since opened a criminal investigation. But hey — at least someone got their adrenaline fix, right? And if we’re being brutally cynical (which, frankly, feels appropriate here), this isn’t the first time someone’s need for speed ended at the doorstep of a morgue.

The incident took place in Russia.
