British Adventurer in Private Russian Hospital Scare

The future of eccentric British Adventurer Chris Blakey’s ambitious attempt to cross Siberia in a vintage Austin Seven Car was thrown into doubt tonight when he was committed to a private Russian hospital in the city of Nizhniy Novgorod. In this exclusive interview with Russian Ilya Zlotnikov, Chris reveals the circumstances the led to police intervention to send him to this hospital. This disturbing development followed only 2 days after he competed in the GUM vintage car rally from Moscow’s Red Square. It is hoped that there will be no need to seek the involvement of the new British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
