By IANS/RIA Novosti,
Moscow : A Siberian driver and her friend died in a car crash minutes after fleeing the scene of another road accident they had caused, said police.
The woman and her woman passenger had been drinking all night-long in a Russian steam bath, before taking a drive, Tyumen region traffic police said on their website.
The duo rammed a Lada sedan with their car and fled the scene via a byroad, the report said. It did not specify if the people whose car they rammed were hurt.
The fleeing car, however, skidded as it was driving on the wrong side of the road. It turned over and ended up in a ditch, killing both the women, the report said.
Police said both had recently lost their driving licences, which in the passenger’s case was because she had been caught drunk driving.
