A 21-year-old man lost control of his vehicle and first drove against a hydrant before crashing against a concrete wall. With him in the car was a 17-year-old acquaintance, who was also slightly injured. Despite the dramatic situation, both inmates were lucky in misfortune because they came away with minimal injuries.

The cause of the accident was quickly determined: in an examination, driving inability was diagnosed due to the consumption of addictive substances and the driver. Emergency forces found various drugs in the car, including cannabis, as well as a hookah and a grinder. The 21-year-old's driver's license was confiscated on site, and further investigations into the seized substances are underway.
