A driver of a bus that overturned in the vicinity of Lipetsk Oblast has been sentenced to imprisonment. The local Prosecutor's Office says that as long as the driver is a citizen of Georgia, he may escape from court and investigators.
After inspecting the bus, the investigators reportedly noticed technical malfunctions.
