The Aurus car had an accident in the center of the capital, at the intersection of Mira Avenue and Bolnichny Lane, early in the morning on May 22. All state agencies, including TASS , wrote about the accident. The fact that the car with the corresponding numbers was assigned to the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill (Vladimir Gundyaev) was reported by Baza and 112 .
Interfax, citing a source in the Russian Orthodox Church, writes that Aurus with the patriarch is driving up to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior (9:52 Moscow time), and the messages “do not correspond to reality.”

The TASS report states that "a car with government numbers got into an accident, no one was injured." Also, the agency, citing a source in emergency services, claims that there were no passengers in the car.
