Stories about taxi drivers deceiving foreigners can be heard at every major sports event. Often taxi drivers not only spoil their profession, but also the image of the whole country. Several incidents have already been recorded in Russian cities where the battles of the World Football Championship are taking place.
Last Saturday on Ilyinka Street in Moscow, a taxi car crashed into pedestrians walking on the sidewalk. 7 people were injured in the accident. They were taken to city hospitals with various injuries. Among the injured were two football fans from Mexico.
The taxi driver was a 23-year-old citizen of Kyrgyzstan. After the accident, he fled the scene, but was caught by passersby and narrowly escaped a lynching.
An investigation is underway to determine whether the driver intentionally hit the people. During the interrogation, he admitted that he fell asleep at the wheel because he had not slept for 20 hours before, and instead of the brake, he pressed the accelerator.
