The Krasnodar region witnessed a collision between an Iskander missile system and a KamAZ heavy truck on a federal highway known as the Caucasus route. The event was reported by GTRK Kuban and is under investigation by regional authorities.
The crash occurred on the stretch of the Caucasus highway between the Novokubansk stele and the Kurganinsk turn. Emergency teams arrived promptly, and responders worked to extract occupants from the crushed cabins. The rescued individuals were immediately evaluated by medical staff at the scene and then transported to nearby medical facilities for further care.
Initial details indicate that the KamAZ truck was transporting bottled water when the force of the impact caused cargo to scatter along the roadway. The investigation is focused on determining the precise sequence of events leading to the collision and identifying any factors that may have contributed to the severity of the accident. At this stage, officials have not released the total number of injuries or the specific conditions of those affected.
In a similar incident reported earlier, a resuscitation vehicle in Lipetsk overturned during an emergency response. The patient was taken to the hospital, but died there. Two ambulance crew members sustained injuries while attending to the scene. These events underscore the hazards faced by first responders and the importance of rapid, coordinated action in critical road incidents.
