Zelensky was examined by a doctor after the accident and is said to be not seriously injured, said the media portal, adding that medics accompanying Zelensky also provided his driver with medical assistance and transferred him to an ambulance.
Nykyforov further said that law enforcement will thoroughly investigate the crash.
