Prominent Russian video blogger Dmitry Maslennikov has been involved in an accident while filming content, according to a statement published on his official social media page.
Writing on his Telegram channel, Maslennikov reported that three out of the five members of the production team were heading to a medical trauma station to undergo X-rays for suspected injuries to their arms and legs. He added that he personally suffered bruises in the crash.
Maslennikov described the event as a minor accident that occurred during an ongoing video shoot. He stated that the incident was caused by a random coincidence of circumstances and emphasized that no one was to blame for what happened.
According to the blogger, the crew members were not riding in a motor car at the time of the incident, but were instead using another type of vehicle. He noted that the team avoided serious injuries, suffered only a minor scare, and was able to resume filming shortly after the event.
Accident on set
Maslennikov is one of Russia's most widely followed video bloggers and internet personalities, recognized for producing large-scale challenge videos, urban exploration projects, and ghost-hunting series. He regularly uses Telegram, a cloud-based instant messaging platform popular across Eastern Europe, to broadcast updates directly to his audience.
In Russia, a trauma station, known locally as a travmpunkt, operates as a specialized emergency outpatient clinic. These medical centers provide immediate diagnostic procedures, including X-rays, and initial medical treatment for physical injuries such as sprains, cuts, and minor bone fractures.
Recent media accidents
The incident follows another recent road collision involving a Russian television personality. Russian television presenter Victoria Panina recently disclosed that she was involved in a traffic accident caused by another motorist who drove through a red light.
Panina stated that she sustained bruises in that collision. She is a well-known figure on Russian television networks, where she works as a news anchor and broadcast journalist.
