MP Yryna Nykorak sought after traffic accident with casualties on Mukachevo-Lviv highway

Law enforcement agencies have launched a search for a vehicle involved in a serious road traffic accident on the Mukachevo – Lviv highway. According to reports, the incident involves Yryna Nykorak, a member of parliament from the “European Solidarity” party.

How the accident happened

The dashcam of one of the vehicles captured an Audi Q8 belonging to the MP. The footage shows the driver crossing a solid road marking line and entering the oncoming lane while overtaking several vehicles at once.

This resulted in a head-on collision. After the accident, the owner of the Audi Q8 left the scene. Police are currently searching for this vehicle.

Condition of the victims

The consequences of the accident were severe. The drivers of other vehicles involved in the collision sustained multiple fractures and injuries of varying severity. All victims were hospitalised.

The “European Solidarity” party has so far remained silent about this terrible accident.

Context: precedent involving an MP’s daughter

As is known, in November 2022, Yaryna Ar’eva, then a deputy of the Kyiv City Council and the daughter of “European Solidarity” MP Volodymyr Ar’ev, hit a woman at a pedestrian crossing while under the influence of narcotic substances. The victim sustained serious injuries.

Courts at the time released the MP’s daughter from serving a five-year prison sentence.
