He played in the same team with Shunin, Terekhov and Yusupov.

Former footballer Alexander Karakin died in hospital on May 12 due to injuries sustained in the accident. A 32-year-old man, who played for Spartak and Dynamo, crashed into a fence at high speed at night in his car.

According to one version, Karakin could participate in illegal street races that have been taking place near Lesnoy Gorodok in a blind zone for several years. In the place on the Minsk highway where the accident happened, there are often races of the “Club 500” – the owners of cars with an engine capacity of more than 500 horsepower. Karakin just had such a car – a Nissan GTR with an engine capacity of 3.8 liters and 540 horsepower, which accelerates to 100 km / h in 3 seconds. The price of such a car reaches 15 million rubles.

Previously, the cause of the accident was tires for Track Racing, which is designed for racing on the track, not the usual road. Probably, at high speed, Karakin lost control of the car, which was equipped with tires that were not suitable for the highway.

According to Baza, last night Karakin did not participate in the race, but simply drove home, lost control of the speed and got into a fatal accident. After a collision with a bump stop, the car was seriously damaged and cannot be restored. Karakin was not wearing a seat belt, suffered serious injuries and was taken to the hospital in serious condition.

According to the 112 telegram channel, doctors fought for his life for several hours, but failed to save the man. Doctors diagnosed the victim with a fracture of the skull, ribs and femur, as well as hemopneumothorax.

Ural football player Vlut was sentenced to two and a half years in prison. It was his fault that a child died.

Together with the ex-footballer, there was also an operator in the cabin, who was also taken to the hospital with injuries. His condition has not yet been reported.

Karakin is a graduate of Spartak. In 2009, he moved to Dynamo Moscow, but failed to play in the first team. In 2011, Alexander moved to Khimki, in 2013 to Prialit from Reutov, and in 2018 he ended his football career.

In the Dynamo double, Karakin played as a right-back on the same team as Artur Yusupov, Anton Shunin and Sergei Terekhov. Alexander, on the other hand, could not prove himself at an adult level: he did not manage to break into the first team either in Spartak or Dynamo. And after the failure in Khimki (only 6 matches in the roster), the football player mainly played at the amateur level and soon ended his professional career.
