This information came through the nn.ru Telegram channel. The incident unfolded on the 548th kilometer of the federal highway during the morning hours when repair work was underway and traffic in the area was being rerouted in the opposite direction.

The scene highlighted the dangers of congested roadside work zones where heavy vehicles and halted traffic can quickly create a multi-vehicle pileup. (Source: nn.ru)
