Following the incident, traffic was reopened along 95 kilometers of the Moscow Ring Road, according to an official update from the city’s transport authorities. The statement described a coordinated response: responders secured the scene, evaluated vehicle damage, and cleared debris from the main lanes. Signs and barriers guided drivers to temporary detours while crews completed safety checks. As the system recovered, traffic gradually shifted back toward normal levels, and drivers were urged to anticipate some residual congestion while lanes stabilized.
Emergency services reported that the crash occurred at 21:46 on the outer side of kilometer 95, near exit 93A. Responders arrived quickly, secured the area, and provided aid to those involved. Officials advised motorists to use secondary routes to ease the bottleneck as the site produced congestion extending about 1.5 kilometers from the crash site. It took roughly four and a half hours for the roadway to restore normal flow, with crews clearing debris, coordinating traffic, and documenting details for ongoing investigations.
In the Metrogorodok area, a four-vehicle collision disrupted lanes, with several occupants trapped inside cars. Rescue teams pried open doors, stabilized the injured, and transported them to nearby medical facilities. The incident prompted temporary road closures and a rapid detour plan to prevent secondary crashes. Eyewitness reports described smoke, skid marks, and the sound of crunching metal as vehicles collided, underscoring how quickly the beltway can gridlock when attention lapses occur at high speeds.
Five days earlier, another crash near exit 41 caused significant disruption and heavy traffic. Emergency crews arrived to assess damage, provide medical care, and help manage crowding on surrounding streets. The episode contributed to persistent congestion in the corridor, reminding drivers to allocate extra travel time and to follow posted detour routes during peak hours or in adverse conditions.
Earlier footage captured a six-car collision on the Moscow Ring Road, illustrating how suddenly several vehicles can become tangled and how quickly traffic can grind to a halt. Investigators reviewed the video as part of routine checks, while traffic managers issued updated detour guidance and monitored flow to minimize delays for commuters, freight operators, and regional travelers.
