Truck Dumps Concrete Blocks on Car in Yekaterinburg

On the evening of February 4, an unusual accident occurred in Yekaterinburg. On the duplicate of the Siberian Highway, opposite the «Komsomoll» shopping center, a truck with concrete blocks struck a car parked on the roadside with its hazard lights on. Apparently, the car had previously been involved in an accident: another vehicle was standing nearby.

Part of the blocks fell directly onto the SUV, while another part spilled onto the road, obstructing other motorists.

«The truck driver didn»t even notice, but he was chased down and stopped,« said an eyewitness to the accident.

The accident occurred at 6:34 p.m. The Yekaterinburg State Traffic Inspectorate (GAI) has not yet responded as to whether the drivers were injured, but the car was likely damaged.

Recall that the Sverdlovsk Region State Traffic Inspectorate (GAI) issued an emergency warning for drivers due to heavy snowfall. See how to drive safely in snow and ice.
