Car Crash: Russian Audi R8 Flees After Flipping Lada While Drifting

A Russian Audi R8 caused an accident the other day after making a high speed U-turn on a business city road. The R8 turned into the opposite direction while the driver did not pay attention to the oncoming traffic.

The German sports car smashed into the side of what looks like an older Lada Samara and knocked the Russian sedan over. While people run to the scene to help the driver of the Russian car, the Audi R8 coupe makes a run for it passing a red light in the process.

The video has a rather interesting side to it, because the camera man is positioned at the correct right angle for the drift scene next to a road you normally never film as a car spotter or local passer. So what is the catch here?
