On the outskirts of Moscow, along the ring road near the Novoegoryevskoye highway, a traffic incident resulted in a vehicle colliding with two vehicles that had already come to a stop. This is the account given by the regional transport department as information was released about the event. A nearby witness or operator released images showing a person who stood beside one of the stationary vehicles during the moment of the crash and then moved away to the side, narrowly escaping harm. The footage confirmed that emergency services arrived promptly to secure the site, assess the situation, and provide updates on any injuries. The department of transport noted that the incident caused a significant disruption to traffic on the Novoegoryevskoye Highway, reducing the flow from five lanes to two, while rescue and road-clearing operations were underway to restore normal traffic conditions.
Earlier reports described a Moscow Ring Road taxi involved in a breakdown, which led to a Chevrolet Lanos coming to a halt on the road. As a consequence of the collision, both the driver and a passenger inside the Chevrolet sustained injuries of varying severity and required medical attention, with some transported to hospital facilities for further evaluation and treatment. The response teams implemented diversions and on-site traffic management to minimize exposure for other motorists and to expedite the clearance of the affected segment.
In addition, information from other witnesses indicated that another incident occurred nearby on the Kalmykia highway, with preliminary figures showing multiple injuries. At the present time, nine individuals are reported to have sustained injuries across the sequence of crashes, and investigators and emergency responders continued to work at the scene to establish precise causality, document the condition of all parties involved, and determine any contributing factors such as speed, vehicle condition, and weather-related influence.
