In the Saratov region, near the village of Vyazovka in the Tatishchevsky district, an ambulance SUV collided with a UAZ Patriot. This is reported by TASS as part of ongoing local incident coverage.
The collision happened late on Friday evening. To free one of the Patriot occupants, rescuers employed a hydraulic tool. Two members of the ambulance crew were hospitalized: a 26-year-old woman and a 47-year-old man, both receiving medical attention for injuries sustained in the crash.
On the highway, the two vehicles came perilously close to a head-on clash, and officials are still determining which driver entered the oncoming lane. This update comes from MK Saratov, which cited a source within the local traffic police. Early information indicates that the drivers who were hospitalized were in serious condition, prompting a thorough assessment of the incident’s dynamics and contributing factors.
Earlier reports indicate a separate incident involving a minibus in Ufa. A driver allegedly refused service to a passenger who paid with a card, insulted the farepayer, and then threw stones at the vehicle. Details remain under investigation, with authorities focusing on the sequence of events and the safety implications for public transportation conducted in the area.
