One of the leaders of the Young Front Artur Finkevich has just escaped a death in a car crash. A wheel of Opel Omega where the young politician was driving came off at the speed of 100 km/h. The car left the road and overturned several times. There were two more Young Front members in the car.
The incident took place on Saturday when Artur was on his way back from Hrodna after a meeting with local activists. The plan of the oppositional protest rally on September 28 was discussed there.
“I want to say from the start, that the car was technically sound. The five bolts that hold the wheel could not get loose at once themselves. That is I do not exclude that this incident had a political underpinning. I called upon young people of Hrodna to come to Minsk on September 28 to take part in the rally against rigged electiom results. This mobilization job could be very displeasing for somebody,” Finkevich said in an interview to “My”.
As the eyewitnesses say, Young Front members were very lucky that after such an accident nobody was seriously hurt. But the car is beyond repair. And the unfortunate wheel was found in 50 meters from the road.
