The morning of July 15 saw a severe traffic crash in the Bryukhovetsky district on the 91st kilometer of the Krasnodar Yeisk highway. A routine bus and a grain carrier were involved, and the incident resulted in the death of two passengers. The information was reported by the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the region through its telegraph channel.
Emergency services were called to the scene around 05:10 Moscow time in the Bryukhovetsky district. Early findings indicate that the driver of the MAN truck swerved into the opposite lane and collided head on with a passenger bus en route from Tula to Anapa, according to the ministry. The bus carried more than 40 people at the time, and ten passengers sustained injuries requiring hospitalization. Police and traffic investigators are currently at the scene, working to reconstruct the moment of impact and how the two vehicles crossed paths on that stretch of highway.
Earlier on the same route, another incident disrupted traffic on the road from the airport to Kazan. A six-vehicle collision involved a pickup truck, a car, and several other vehicles, causing a temporary standstill on the highway. Local authorities have been coordinating detours and ensuring medical teams could reach those affected. The exposure of multiple crashes in a short period has prompted a review of road safety measures on this corridor.
In related news, a separate report described a collision involving a classic Mercedes. The charred remains of a vintage car were shown in social media posts, underscoring how quickly drivers of all kinds can be drawn into dangerous situations on busy routes. The focus remains on preserving lives, understanding the chain of events that led to each crash, and enhancing safety for all motorists traveling through this region.
Authorities remind travelers to exercise caution, maintain safe following distances, and comply with all traffic control devices while the investigation proceeds. Attribution for the information comes from the regional Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which emphasizes transparent updates as the scene is secured and data is analyzed.
