Emergency responders tackle a car fire on Zubovsky Avenue in central Moscow
In the early evening hours, firefighters brought a burning vehicle under control on Zubovsky Avenue, a major thoroughfare in the heart of Moscow. The incident occurred inside the Garden Ring, near building number 4, and left the car largely consumed by flames as crews worked to douse the blaze. The operation, conducted under the watch of local emergency services, was completed around 8 p.m., and traffic in the two-lane corridor was subsequently redirected to ensure safety for passing motorists and pedestrians alike.
Updates through official channels reported by the Moscow transportation authorities showed video footage circulating on the department’s channels, illustrating a separate collision involving a Tesla vehicle that struck a street pole after an incident on Volgogradsky Prospekt in Moscow. The clip appears to depict a straight-going vehicle entering an intersection, followed by a high-speed impact with a Tesla that collided with the passenger side and subsequently slammed into a pole. The exact sequence of events and contributing factors remain under investigation by city authorities and traffic safety officials.
Earlier reports indicated that a vehicle with a capacity for six passengers was involved in a separate incident on a highway in the Stavropol Territory, with the car catching fire after the crash. Investigators are prioritizing scene reconstruction and passenger safety to prevent similar occurrences in the future, while ensuring timely information for the public through official channels and authorized media outlets. Observers are reminded that road conditions, driver behavior, and vehicle maintenance all play essential roles in preventing fires and reducing the severity of crashes.
