15-Year-Old Russian Footballer Buys New Aston Martin, Crashes It Shortly After

Seeing famous footballers racing hundred-thousand-dollar sportscars around town just for fun is not really that impressive anymore. But when it comes to an under-aged driver who drives without a license, even crashes the car and flees the scene of the accident, things go out of hand to say the least...

When they say “Only in Russia” they really mean it, don’t they?

Konstantin P. was quite happy to realize being a soccer player pays off since he decided he’d buy a new Aston Martin with the money he earned so far. Problem was, he didn’t think that driving also implies some driving lessons, a bit of experience and... well, a driver's licence.

It would seem the young illegal driver is in fact a member of the Russian soccer team Zenit St. Petersburg and the V12-powered James Bond mobile was actually bought with his own money.

The car he crashed was bought with his earnings. He did not steal it. We’re sure he was not drunk, but at this age people do not think”, the director of the football club allegedly said, according to Fakt.

The young and aspiring driver crashed the British grand tourer right into a Volkswagen Tiguan who was driving legally at the moment of impact and, instead of facing his deed, fled the scene. Not only is he now famous for ruining a beautiful sportscar, but it would seem he’s also facing some serious charges, which include one-and-a-half years in prison and a half-a-million rubles fine ($8,409).

We all get these young folks that are eager to drive, but maybe sometimes a bit of patience is a lot better than acting reckless. Just maybe.
