VLBI observations of 3C 345 at 10.8 GHz and 22.2 GHz show that the position angle of the new component is increasing as it separates from the core. Also, the apparent velocity of the component is increasing. This is the first clear evidence for non-radial motion and acceleration of an individual component in an extragalactic radio source.
