While driving a UAZ Patriot over rough terrain near the village of Krasnaya Volya in Sochi, the driver lost control and "tipped over" the vehicle onto a road fence. Five passengers between the ages of 18 and 42 and the driver himself were injured. The injured were taken to local hospitals.

It is specified that the head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, has been presented with a report on the investigation of the criminal case and the established circumstances.

The department added that they will apply for the detention of the suspect.
