Later Telegram channel SHOT found outthat in the cabin of a foreign car with a flasher, besides Mironov, there was another passenger.
“Mironov stayed in the car for about an hour after the accident on Sretenka, and he didn't leave the passenger compartment. Witnesses didn't see him, and street cameras also didn't capture him. The victim had already been taken away, the inspectors had arrived, but Mironov didn't appear on the street. The heavily tinted Genes made it impossible to see who was sitting in the front passenger seat. But, presumably, that's where Mironov was the whole time. politics After all, a certain woman was sitting in the seat behind the driver.

“The cyclist broke the rules”
Elena Krylova, Press Secretary of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation
told RIA Novosti agency that the injured courier himself violated the rules of the road.According to the employee of the fleet responsible for traffic safety, who arrived at the scene, the victim at the time of the accident was on a bicycle and did not dismount, as required by the traffic rules,”
» Sergey Radko.“There is a very interesting field for experts to work here, because if a cyclist were moving on foot, then his average speed would be 4-5 km/h. And the driver, being able to identify this danger, would be able to react in time. On a bicycle, it appears much faster and, perhaps, the driver did not have the technical ability to avoid a collision.
But in any case, here is a pedestrian crossing, here the driver should have been more attentive, so we can talk about his fault.
Because a pedestrian with the same speed could be without a bicycle, but run. And this does not relieve the driver of either the obligation to give way or the responsibility if he did not do so.

According to him, the fact of twisted numbers in this case will not affect the determination of the culprit of the accident.
In judicial practice, there is a rather unambiguous interpretation: if a driver knocks down a cyclist, scooter or just a pedestrian at a pedestrian crossing, then, as a rule, he is always to blame.
Although in this case I do not exclude that the blame can be put on the cyclist.the expert concluded.
