In the Saratov region, a collision occurred involving a Kamaz truck and a horse-drawn carriage. The report comes from the Telegram channel PE Saratov. The incident happened along the Samara-Pugachev-Engels-Volgograd highway at the 19 kilometer mark within the Ivanteevsky district. A 51-year-old driver of the horse-drawn carriage was involved in the crash with a Tonar trailer and a Kamaz truck driven by a 29-year-old man.
The truck and the trailer struck the carriage as they shared the highway, leading to injuries for the carriage driver. He was transported to a hospital, where doctors assessed wounds of varying severity. The horse that was pulling the carriage survived the ordeal. The Kamaz itself sustained only minor damage to the cabin area. Local authorities have launched an investigation to determine the precise sequence of events and to establish accountability for the traffic accident. The case remains under review as investigators gather evidence from the scene and interview involved parties. [Source: PE Saratov]
