The bodies of the driver and the passenger were found on the road some meters from the wreckage. They died instantly, police said. It was later reported the driver was the son of a late Russian politician… „I called him early morning on a mobile, there was no answer. Then my wife and I saw the crashed blue Porshe on the news, and realized it was his friend‘s car,“ Igor Ballo, father of the man who had been the passenger, told Lifenews.

The Porsche was driven by 23-year old Igor Esipovsky, the son of a Russian governor who himself died in a helicopter crash in 2009. The passenger in the sports car was Talya Ballo, 26, the only son of a Russian businessman.
