Investigations to confirm the information that the 35-year-old Russian who drove to the death of the unfortunate Marta Tyorjanne Tofei, after a violent collision on the Limassol coastal road was involved in a race with another vehicle are being carried out by the Traffic Police.
Traffic police members went to the area again this morning to check closed circuit television installed in the area to determine whether the 35-year-old, who is under 6-day detention, did indeed race his car before ramming the car of the unfortunate woman who was returning home from her day's work.

The information was reported this morning by the state channel. As reported in yesterday's Cyprus Times[/URL], the 35-year-old appears to have made all the road violations that lead to fatal accidents. In addition to driving his car having consumed more alcohol than the permitted amount, he ran a red light and of course drove at an increased speed. "Investigations will show beyond any doubt how much he was speeding, however we believe he was driving at least 150 kilometres," a police source told the Cyprus Times.
However, when questioned, he claimed that the traffic light was in orange at the time.
The police are attempting to obtain all necessary evidence until the 35-year-old's detention order expires.
