Belarus Returns Bolt Driver Who Crashed Into Border Fence To Lithuania

The incident occurred in early May.

On May 22, Belarus returned to Lithuania the driver of the Bolt platform, who in early May crashed into a physical fence installed on the Lithuanian side, writes Delfi.

- The man was handed over through the border checkpoint "Miadininkai", he was interrogated at the Vilnius detachment. Two pre-trial investigations are underway - one on destruction or damage to property, the other on illegal crossing of the state border. He was charged under these two articles, and a preventive measure was chosen - periodic registration with the police. He has been released," Giedrius Misutis, a representative of the Lithuanian State Border Guard Service, told Elta.

The incident occurred on the night of May 4.

A Toyota Yaris Cross car ignored road signs for some reason, approached the border at high speed and in the darkness crashed into the spiral fence installed there. Having broken through the fence, the car drove to the Belarusian side. The front part of the car was seriously damaged, airbags were deployed.

The driver, a citizen of Lithuania, was detained by the Belarusian security forces. During the detention, he allegedly staggered. Belarus stated that the man was in a state of alcohol intoxication.
