In Krasnodar, a multi-vehicle crash occurred when a 23-year-old resident of Moscow, driving a BMW, lost control on a long, smoothly banked section of Kozhevennaya Street. The incident, reported by the Telegram channel Shot, unfolded as the car veered across the roadway, left the pavement, crossed a road barrier, and then collided with several vehicles in a nearby parking area.
Witnesses on site described how the BMW’s front end absorbed a heavy deformation from the impact, underscoring the severity of the collision even though there were no fatalities. The affected vehicles included a Toyota, a Great Wall of China, a Skoda, and a Mitsubishi, all of which sustained varying levels of damage in the chain reaction that followed the initial crash. Local authorities subsequently issued two administrative protocols related to infractions tied to road damage and to the driver’s lack of a valid license.
The incident highlights the risk posed by unlicensed drivers on city streets, particularly on stretches with long, gentle curves that can encourage excessive speed or misjudgment. Emergency responders and traffic monitors arrived promptly to secure the scene, assess injuries, and manage traffic flow to prevent secondary incidents. Investigations continue to determine contributing factors such as speed, driver licensing status, vehicle maintenance, and adherence to road regulations at the time of the crash.
Separately, earlier reports from another region noted a fatal accident involving a high school student in the Astrakhan region. In that incident, a cart collided with two horses, resulting in the death of the student and prompting authorities to review riding safety and animal control measures. These events together remind readers that road safety encompasses a wide range of scenarios, from vehicle control to animal interactions and pedestrian awareness. Authorities emphasize the importance of proper licensing, responsible driving, and vigilance for all road users to reduce the risk of serious harm in everyday traffic.
