A serious two-car crash in Bashkiria leaves nine injured, including several children
Nine people sustained injuries when a collision occurred between a Skoda Octavia and a Nissan Qashqai on the Beloretsk-Uchali road in Bashkiria. The Republican State Committee for Emergency Situations confirmed the incident and provided details about the aftermath. The collision involved two well-known models, the Skoda Octavia and the Nissan Qashqai, and took place on a highway that connects Beloretsk with Uchali. In the immediate wake of the crash, seven individuals were transported to the Beloretsk Central Republican Clinical Hospital for urgent care, with four of the victims identified as minors aged 3, 9, and 14 years old. The age of the fourth child has not yet been determined. Statements from officials indicate that the full scope of injuries and the sequence of events are under review, with investigators gathering evidence at the scene and speaking with witnesses to reconstruct what happened that day.
Emergency responders arrived promptly on the scene. Rescuers from the State Emergency Situations Committee of the Republic of Belarus, along with firefighters from the Russian Ministry of Emergencies, medical teams, and law enforcement, helped secure the area, provide aid to the injured, and coordinate transport to medical facilities. One of the notable actions reported by the state committee was the careful extraction of two injured children from the Nissan Qashqai, who were moved from the ditch into an ambulance as part of the continuing effort to stabilize all victims. Officials stressed that investigators will continue to determine the precise details of the crash in the coming hours as evidence is examined and witnesses are interviewed.
Earlier reports mentioned a separate incident on a highway near Yaroslavl, where a vehicle caught fire and exploded, underscoring the broader reality of high-risk conditions on major regional roadways. Local authorities continue to monitor traffic conditions, deploy responders as needed, and issue safety advisories to help reduce the risk of future crashes across the region.
