According to the Moscow traffic police, whose comments are quoted by RIA Novosti, it all started with the fact that the GAZelle car stopped in the fourth row due to malfunctions. The driver turned on the distress signal, but did not deploy the emergency stop sign. Another car stopped in front of him to help. But her driver didn’t even have time to get out of the cab.
At that moment a taxi car, which was traveling on the back of the same lane, ran into the truck at full speed. CCTV footage shows that the driver did not even try to slow down or avoid the collision.
Cars after collision due to inertia spread in different directions. Four lanes were blocked as a result of the accident.
The truck driver died on the spot. At the time of the accident, he was outside inspecting the car. The man jumped into the adjacent lane and was hit by a passing car. The taxi caught fire immediately after the collision. The driver and passenger managed to get out of the car. They did not require hospitalization.
The investigation shows what condition the taxi driver was in at the time of the accident and why he did not try to slow down.
