Several Injured in Bus-Kamaz Collision Near Moscow Return Home After Examination
Several passengers injured when a bus collided with a KamAZ truck near Moscow have been released from hospital after medical assessments, according to Alexei, the son of one of the bus passengers who spoke to socialbites.ca. He reported that his mother sustained three broken ribs but was otherwise in stable condition.
Alexei described the sequence of events in detail. He said his mother was aboard the bus when the KamAZ ahead began to slow. The bus attempted to steer away from a collision by moving into the left lane, but another truck was approaching in that lane. The bus slowed as best as it could, but the road surface was slippery, causing the wheels to lock up and the vehicle to surge forward. The impact affected multiple people on board, and several passengers were injured enough to require hospital care while others were treated on-site or sent home after evaluation. Some did not require hospitalization and chose to return home after the initial checks. The son noted that his mother, despite the rib injuries, remained in excellent condition overall once stabilized.
The collision occurred on a federal highway known as M-7 Volga, in the Orekhovo-Zuevsky district. Emergency responders transported the bus driver and a number of passengers to medical facilities for treatment. The incident is under investigation as authorities review the circumstances leading to the crash, including road conditions and vehicle performance at the time of the accident.
Officials indicated the situation involved a sequence of traffic events that complicated the collision dynamics. The bus, which was transporting several passengers, collided with a KamAZ truck, resulting in injuries to the driver and several riders. While some passengers were admitted for further observation, others received on-site treatment and were later discharged after confirming there were no further medical concerns. The ongoing inquiry aims to determine fault and to assess any contributing factors such as weather, road surface conditions, and mechanical issues with the vehicles involved.
Witnesses and authorities emphasized the importance of road safety in such conditions. Slippery roads can dramatically affect braking and steering, especially for larger vehicles in close traffic. The incident underscores the need for vigilance among drivers, adherence to speed limits, and preparedness for sudden changes in traffic patterns. Health officials continue to monitor affected passengers and provide follow-up care as needed, while investigators gather CCTV footage, interview witnesses, and inspect the vehicles to piece together a complete timeline of the event.
