In Dagestan, a troubling sequence unfolded when a Ford Focus driver managed to start his car and pull away just moments before a powerful mud flow swept the street. The event was captured on video and circulated by the Telegram channel known as What do Dagestanis have there, which has become a point of reference for unusual local occurrences.
The footage, filmed in the village of Chirkata in the Gumbetovski district, shows a black Ford sedan parked along the roadside near a building. The driver initiates a maneuver, turning to the right, and almost immediately, muddy water begins to flood the roadway. In the same instant, the mudslide shifts a white Oka vehicle that was parked nearby, while construction materials near the building are scattered across the scene as the street is swallowed by earth and debris.
As the mud stream continues, the Oka is carried by the current and ends up entangled with the flowing material, while the Ford—having already secured its position—drives away into a nearby garage, seemingly untouched by the chaos that unfolds on the road. Reports from social media channels confirm the sequence and timing, emphasizing the speed and force of the mud surge in that moment.
Separately, another incident of concern surfaced, stating that a vehicle at a gas station in Yakutsk caught fire and a Toyota Alphard exploded. Preliminary information points to a malfunction in the gas balloon equipment as the probable cause, a reminder of how equipment faults can escalate into dangerous situations in a short span of time.
Earlier reports described an unrelated accident in which a driver with epilepsy struck a girl and a dog at a traffic intersection, followed by damage to traffic signals. This sequence was described as a sudden, unanticipated attack by the vehicle, highlighting the broader safety challenges that can arise when drivers experience acute medical events and lose control of their vehicle moments before critical traffic signals fail or are compromised.
