  1. I hope no one got injured. And I hope the authorities will give him a permanent ban on operating any type of personal vehicle, that should show the cunt what’s up.

  2. If anyone is wondering what the driver is yelling, it rouhgly translates:
    “Väisty pois luotani, Saatana” = “get away from me Satan”. Sounds like he’s in psychosis and refers police’s as Satan, or I don’t know. Scary.

  3. Unreal, two people were hurt by this but not fatally. Phew, worse things could’ve happened, there were thousands walking in the streets.

  4. Incredibly lucky that no one died, including the driver. How do you go from that speed to crashing and being that lively? Psychosis is one hell of a drug.

  5. Yeah, we were right at the Eino Leino statue in Esplanadi, so right where he crashed.
    It really happened in a split second.
    An absolute miracle that nobody was seriously injured! If the car would have gone towards the park or the statue, it would have been absolutely terrible
