From my chat with Olga:

"...
He got into a car accident
He fell asleep at the wheel
Ran into a tree and turned over
He is very very very very very very lucky
His arm is hurt
It's not broken
It's just cut badly
They gave him stitches
Left arm between wrist and elbow
The whole lower arm is cut
It looked pretty bad
but I mean people die in accidents like his
...
Well, I got woken up at 7:10 or so
Barry told me that Vova's car got turned over
and they think he fell asleep at the wheel
I got all freaked out
told Dave what happened and we left to go to the hospital
We saw the car on the way there
and I got so scared
It was completely totaled
Some lady who was behind him called 911
She said he was driving slow
because he was falling asleep
and then he hit a tree
and turned the car over
He crawled out of the window himself though
I'm not sure how his head didn't get hurt
because the car is totaled
The roof is all the way squished
I have no idea how he ever got out
We got to the hospital
and they let me in to see him
and he was there
in the emergency room
...
but yeah, the emergency came and took him away
and they took x-rays
and nothing was clinically broken
but the cut was pretty bad
They said they would numb his arm
clean it out
give him internal and external stitches
and then he would be good to go on the plane
..."

20 stitches! It was Vova's last day in America...
