UPDATE: There’s something fishy going on in Gilan, Iran!
Here is a photo from the scene of Ahmadinejad’s security guards crash as posted at the Persian Fars website:
Did you notice the windshield is knocked out in this photo?
** Kamangir has even more details!
And, here are the photos from the Fars News English website:
Notice the windshield is still intact here.
The official explanation was that, “A passenger car approaching from the opposite side pushed the driver of the car containing security guards to take a dangerous maneuver.” But, you can see from this photo that the road is an interstate highway with a divider between the lanes.
FARS News is reporting that Ahmadinejad’s entourage was in a serious accident on the way back to Tehran from northern Iran today:
5 security guards of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Friday were injured during a car accident on the road to Tehran from the country’s northern province of Gilan while they were accompanying the president back to Tehran from his 25th provincial visit.
The accident took place when a passenger car approaching from the opposite side pushed the driver of the car containing security guards to take a dangerous maneuver as a result of which the car capsized.
The five security guards have been hospitalized in Gilan province’s central city of Rasht and are reported to be in a stable but grave condition.
Ahmadinejad was in Talesh, Iran yesterday.
