Additional information:

During the filming of the story, a loaded weapon was pointed at the Magnolia TV camera crew. Magnolia TV camera crew, led by journalist Anastasia Bereziy, arrived at the crash site. The culprit, presumably in a state of alcoholic intoxication, reacted aggressively to the arrival of journalists and demanded not to film him. A little later, he calmed down and even apologized to the film crew for his rude behaviour. However, at the end of the shooting of the story, the same driver got out of the car and, without a word, reloading the weapon, pointed it towards the operator.
