In the city of Pustomyty, Lviv region, law enforcement officers detained a 24-year-old Audi Q5 driver who, according to the police, caused a fatal road traffic accident while fleeing from patrol officers and may be involved in the murder of his mother. The incident occurred in the morning, around 7:00 AM.

According to the police, patrol officers noticed an Audi Q5 without a front license plate and tried to stop it. After turning on the flashing lights, the driver sharply accelerated and headed towards the exit from Lviv.

During the escape, the man collided with a police service vehicle, and later lost control and caused a head-on collision with a Volkswagen car.
