The culprit of the accident involving the champion of Russia in high diving Salyamova could be the driver
The driver of the Mitsubishi car, which was the champion of Russia in high diving Leila Salyamova, could be the culprit of the fatal accident. Details are given on the page of the Karelia Committee for Life Support and Safety of the Population on VKontakte.
The department said that the driver did not take into account the meteorological and road conditions, and also chose the wrong speed, which is why he lost control at the turn. As a result, the car swerved into the oncoming lane, where it collided with a Volkswagen car.
Reports of the death of a 23-year-old Russian athlete in a car accident appeared earlier on January 13. The accident occurred in Karelia at the 163rd kilometer of the Sortavala highway.
Saliamova became the champion of Russia in 2021. The athlete also has a silver medal of the national championship in 2015 in synchronized diving from a tower. She became the first Russian woman to qualify for the World Cup.
