In Mykolaiv on Monday, 15 June<\/strong> 2026, a triple road traffic accident occurred on the Shyrokobalka<\/strong> bridge. The vehicles involved were a GAZ 3210 “Volga”<\/strong>, a Tesla Model X<\/strong> and a Ford Focus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This was reported by “Novyny-N<\/a>”.<\/p>\n

According to preliminary information, the GAZ 3210 “Volga” was traveling along Bohoyavlenskyi Avenue<\/strong> from the Kosmonavtiv<\/strong> side toward Shyroka Balka<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On the Shyrokobalka overpass the Volga driver lost control of the vehicle and slammed into the Tesla Model X that was ahead. After the first collision, the Volga sharply changed direction, crossed into the oncoming lane and collided with a Ford Focus coming from the Shyroka Balka side.<\/p>\n

As a result of the crash a female driver<\/strong> of the Ford Focus and her 15-year-old<\/strong> passenger were injured. Both injured parties were taken from the scene by ambulance. Their condition has not been reported.<\/p>\n

Patrol police who arrived at the scene found signs of severe alcohol intoxication in the Volga driver. According to on-scene information, the man could barely stand.<\/p>\n

The Volga driver was detained. He is expected to be taken shortly for a medical examination that will officially determine his level of intoxication.<\/p>\n

All 3<\/strong> vehicles sustained mechanical damage.<\/p>\n

Traffic on the Shyrokobalka overpass was disrupted due to the accident.<\/p>\n

This section is an important transport artery for residents of the Korabelnyi district and Shyroka Balka, so such accidents quickly create traffic jams and additional risks for drivers and passengers.<\/p>\n
