A serious multi-vehicle crash took place in the center of Novosibirsk, directly opposite the Globus Theatre, according to reports from ngs.ru citing local traffic authorities.
The collision happened on a Sunday night when a Mercedes-Benz E-Class was traveling along Oktyabrskaya Street and struck four cars that were stopped at a red light. The impacted vehicles included a Kia Rio, a Toyota Premio, another Kia model, and a Hyundai Solaris.
Two women, aged 24 and 26, who were in the Kia Rio, sustained injuries as a result of the crash. Images shared by the Telegram channel ACT-54 Black show the rear end of one of the vehicles severely damaged. The roadway at the scene was blanketed by a thick layer of snow, complicating the situation for responders and motorists alike.
