In Novocherkassk, a city in the Rostov region, a brick fence collapsed in a courtyard area along Magnitny Lane, tumbling onto parked vehicles. The span of the fence was estimated to be well over twenty meters, making a wide swath of impact across the yard. The fall produced a heavy, scattered pile of bricks that cast a shadow over every car beneath it and created a scene of sudden danger for residents who had been going about their daily routines nearby.
The incident involved nine cars that ended up trapped under the debris, each vehicle crushed beneath a thick stack of bricks and rubble. The weight of the fallen barrier was substantial enough to completely overwhelm the roofs and hoods of the cars, leaving notable dents, shattered glass, and a jumble of crushed metal that would require significant repair work for owners to reclaim their vehicles and return to normal life in the neighborhood.
In addition to the nine cars, a Nissan Juke parked nearby was also caught in the fallout. A rock strike pushed the Nissan forward, causing a collision with a passing Mercedes-Benz. The chain of events that followed underscored the severity of the hazard presented by the fence, which had stood close to a line of trees and leaned toward the parking area for an extended period, creating ongoing risk for residents and visitors alike.
Local residents had reportedly raised concerns about the structure to the city council, highlighting persistent instability and the potential for further harm. City authorities directed the landowner to remove the danger, and a fine was issued in response to the ongoing safety breach. Despite these actions, the fence remained in place until the day of collapse, illustrating a failure to address a known risk in a timely manner.
