Matvei Michkov involved in a road accident: the story is (very) disturbing

In the last few hours, we’ve been talking about Ilya Kovalchuk and his problems on the road. The former NHL forward has been arrested no fewer than 210 times for traffic offences since the start of 2024… and that sounds bad when you know he’s involved in a road safety prevention campaign in Russia.

Clearly, then, we thought this would be the biggest story involving a Russian and a car today… but clearly, it isn’t.

In fact, according to what is currently circulating in Russia, Matvei Michkov was involved in a road accident while on vacation in Dubai. He wasn’t at the wheel of the vehicle… but it seems to have hit pretty hard.

And considering that he was a passenger, seeing that it’s mainly that side of the vehicle that’s been damaged is a little worrying.

The good news is that at the moment, we’re not worried about his health. It was he who brought the vehicle, which was leased, back to the dealership.

However, this story becomes even more worrying when you consider the context. According to Alexey Shevchenko(Sport-Express), who first reported the story, the details are truly disturbing.

In fact, the car that crashed was leased in Mishkov’s name. That said, he wasn’t driving it… and that’s illegal. But that’s not the most worrying thing.

On her Telegram account, Shevchenko explains that there would be alcohol, prostitutes and document issues in the story. In fact, Mishkov is said to have “left the country without certain documents”, according to the journalist… and it’s understandable that things could get messy in the next few hours.

“Tomorrow will be a fun day,” he says.

Hopefully, we’ll have more details on this story in the coming hours, but right now, there seems to be reason to be worried in Philadelphia. Let’s just hope everyone’s doing well at the moment.
