There seems to be no end in sight to the crazy stories from the wild, wild East that is Russia’s roads. Today, one of our readers tipped us off about this footage showing an Audi R8 making a very quick U-turn on a central road, somewhere in Russia.
For a couple of seconds, all seems to be going well but as the German sports car enters the straight it smashes onto the side of what looks like an older Lada Samara, knocking the Russian sedan over.
While we see people running to help the driver of the green sedan, the R8 coupe makes a run for it passing a red light in the process.
We should note that some commentators on YouTube are having doubts about the authenticity of the video, especially since the person filming it seemed unfazed – if you speak the language, we would appreciate it if you could help with the translation of what is being said in the clip.
You can weigh in your thoughts after watching the incident in the video that follows after the break.
Thanks to Stan for sending in the tip!
