'It's like a war zone': Carnage as Ukrainian heiress, 20, 'jumps a red light' and kills six people when her car smashes into pedestrians, forcing her armed guards to protect her from angry crowds....

A glamorous 20-year-old heiress has been detained after claims that she 'jumped a red light and rammed into a crowd killing six.'

There was carnage on the streets of Kharkiv, in Ukraine, after her Lexus mowed down people waiting on the pavement at a pedestrian crossing before flipping on its side.

Alyona Zaitseva's armed bodyguards drove up in two jeeps immediately after the crash and protected her from a furious crowd who witnessed the crash. The dead included a 15-year-old schoolgirl.

A shocking video of the aftermath of the crash showed bodies strewn on the pavement.

Among the seriously wounded is a woman who is seven months pregnant, described as being in a grave condition in hospital.
Three of the dead were named as Elena Berchenko, 25, Yury Neudachin, 24, Oksana Nesterenko, 36.

Student Ms Zaitseva was detained initially for three days. Police said she was found not to have been drinking before the crash.

If convicted, she faces up to ten years in jail.

Local bloggers expressed fears that because of her powerful father she will be exonerated despite claims that she sped through the red light.
