Ukraine's best soccer player, Andrei Shevchenko, got into car accident couple weeks ago in a downtown of Kyiv, Ukraine's capital. Here is a video clip provided by Ukraine's TSN news from TV Chanel 1+1. Andrei's Porsche Panamera Turbo crashed into Honda SUV. As you can see on a video, a car accident is not very serious. Nobody got hurt. Both cars got lightly dented and scratched. Mr. Shevchenko told TSN news that a woman who was behind a steering wheel of Honda suddenly changed lanes without turning a blinker on. So he couldn't do a lot to avoid the crash.
What's interesting about this news report is that Mr. Shevchenko despite his mega-celebrity status in Ukraine presents himself as a down-to-earth person. He has no problems talking to a woman whose car he crashed into. Mr. Shevchenko also seems to be very easy-going with cops. It's funny when this woman asks Andrei: "So what's gonna be next?". And he says that they need to exchange their insurances and sign the protocol. Once again, Andrei's behavior is very far from what someone could expect from a mega celebrity. Moreover, it's impressive to see how cops do their work while they certainly go crazy inside because they can see their Soccer God just in a few feet away. The whole news report is very cool and makes you ponder on an efficiency of law and enforcement in Ukraine. Perhaps, a rule of law is not so bad in Ukraine that even Ukraine's biggest soccer star can't avoid a police report.
Btw, Andrei started in FC Dynamo Kyiv in the 1990s and his excellent goal-scoring skills were spotted by AC Milan's recruiters. He had several excellent seasons with AC Milan in Italy
Merry Christmas!!!
