Russian media has revealed that a head-on crash in which a man was killed involved Vladimir Putin's official black BMW.

However the Russian President was not in the car at the time when it was struck head-on by another vehicle which crossed over from the opposite side of the road.

CCTV images of the footage taken on Kutuzovsky Avenue in the Russian capital Moscow show how the Mercedes collided head-on with the presidential BMW.

Russian media said that the car was being driven by Putin's favourite official driver, and that he was killed instantly, but that the President was not in the vehicle at the time.

Yes, it appears the other driver was playing a game of Chechen.

Sounds like the Clintons are adding another body to their count, meaning it for Putin, but his driver instead...

The driver killed was in Putin’s official BMW. The other driver, in the Mercedes that crossed the median, apparently survived. If anything his car looked worse, so I wonder if Mr. They-Haven’t-Said-His-Name-Yet favorite official chauffeur was wearing a seat belt. That and if you’ve got a choice of driving alongside crazy Russians in a BMW or a Mercedes, go with the Benz.

Wonder if this will end up on a YouTube “Craziest Russian Car Crashes” video?

I wonder what information the Russians will get out of the other driver.

Suicide driver in the other car.
