In Nizhny Novgorod, reckless drivers on a jet ski rammed a group of athletes during a swim on the Volga
X-Waters is the name of the swim on the Volga. And right during it, some citizen with a passenger on a jet ski flew into the swimmers. They rushed over their heads and only miraculously no one was hurt - people were literally under his "boat".
The place was fenced, vacationers were warned about the event in advance. So the motives of reckless drivers are unknown. But they will definitely be found out, now the security forces are intensively looking for riders.
According to the lifeguard who worked at this event, the couple broke into the group of swimmers on purpose:
He was signaled, he still continued to move. They tried to block his way, he passed anyway. He ran at a very high speed. And for the first time he drove straight along the coast, where the finish line was, then after 10-20 minutes, when the participants had already stretched almost the length of the entire Volga, he drove again. He was driven across to block the path. But there the boat was not very maneuverable, he did not have time. The second time several more ships tried to catch up with him, but he eventually left. They simply penetrated the territory due to very high speed.
Eyewitnesses add:
He was signaled by boats and a police boat, but the jet ski, without slowing down, going around all the boats, drove into the middle of the column of swimmers. There were a lot of people in the water with buoys, it was impossible not to notice them. The driver of the jet ski deliberately drove into the athletes. From the side it looked like he was going over people.
