On the evening of February 4, a multi-car accident involving five or six vehicles occurred on Bebel Street in Yekaterinburg.
Video footage captures the aftermath of the multi-car crash on Bebel Street.
Witnesses report that no one was injured in the collision, but the vehicles blocked almost the entire lane.
A discarded Christmas tree was found lying on the roadway at the crash scene.
“It’s unclear why, but there is a Christmas tree lying on the road,” one witness wrote.
A serious traffic jam quickly formed at the scene. Traffic toward the Sortirovka district of Yekaterinburg was significantly hampered as drivers tried to bypass the accident site.
Initially, the city’s State Traffic Safety Inspectorate (GIBDD) refrained from commenting on the incident.
Later, the GIBDD clarified that there were indeed no casualties. Agency officers helped the accident participants prepare the necessary procedural documents.
The traffic police also appealed to drivers: “We urge drivers to be extremely vigilant and cautious when driving.”
