A spokesperson of the Charodinsky district’s administration told the media that the wires were hanging low and the vehicle was too high. He added that people are aware of the dangers of driving in the area.

A team is carrying out maintenance to increase the height of the power lines.

The post received hilarious comments from netizens. A user wrote, “Freedom was so close! lol.” Another stated, “It decided to ride on the swings.”

A third stated, “Escape failed!”

A user asked, “How is this possible? His horns are bent in the wrong direction – or did he jump backwards?”
