Ilya Pavlyuk, an entrepreneur close to the “servants,” was involved in a traffic accident in the Vinnytsia region: law enforcement reported alcohol intoxication.

Chernivtsi businessman Ilya Pavlyuk, whom journalists called the “shadow curator” of a group of Servant of the People deputies, was involved in a car accident in the Vinnytsia region and left the scene. He was subsequently detained by law enforcement, and his alcohol test showed a blood alcohol level of 2.46 ppm.

This was reported by Ukrainska Pravda, citing its own sources.

The accident occurred on August 15 around 6:00 PM and involved three vehicles. According to journalists, a Mercedes Brabus arrived after the collision, and Pavlyuk fled the scene in it, despite police orders to remain on the scene.

Vinnytsia Oblast police reported that, according to preliminary reports, the Ford driver crossed into oncoming traffic and collided with a Lexus. The Lexus then, driven by inertia, struck a Volkswagen Passat.

The Lexus driver left the scene of the accident in another vehicle. He was later stopped by patrol officers at a roadblock. His confession revealed a blood alcohol level of 2.46 ppm for the Lexus driver and 1.6 ppm for the Ford driver. The Volkswagen Passat driver was sober.

All three vehicles were taken to an impound lot. Law enforcement officials have opened a criminal investigation into the accident under Part 1 of Article 286-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – violation of traffic safety regulations by a driver under the influence of alcohol.
