The collision occurred on Velyka Vasylkivska Street in the capital's Holosiivskyi district. According to preliminary reports, two BMWs collided, with the force of the impact launching one of the vehicles onto the summer terrace of the KAØS restaurant, where it overturned. The second vehicle crashed directly into the corner of the building, with published photographs confirming that both cars plowed onto the outdoor dining area.
Law enforcement confirmed that only one person was injured – the 36-year-old driver of one of the vehicles – who was hospitalized in stable condition.
“An investigative team from the capital's main traffic accident department and patrol officers are working at the scene to determine the circumstances and exact cause of the collision,” Kyiv police officials stated.
Local news outlet Novyny.LIVE reported that two men were inside the overturned vehicle, while eyewitnesses told reporters that no patrons or pedestrians were on the restaurant's terrace or the sidewalk at the time of the crash.
