Two incidents happened within a single hour on the Nikolaevsky Bridge in Krasnoyarsk as a television crew conducted filming for a police-themed series. Reported by the Telegram channel Kras Mash, the events drew attention from residents and motorists nearby, who watched the bridge transform into a bustling set. One portion of the bridge was temporarily closed to accommodate the production, while traffic on the remaining lanes continued to move. Eyewitness accounts suggest that some drivers became distracted by the ongoing filming, momentarily taking their attention off the road to observe the scene. The filming sequence even captured a pivotal moment where the main antagonistic character of the series is being arrested, a shot meant to set the tone for the episode and to convey the drama to viewers on a national channel. The overall arrangement appeared to balance scenes for the show with the practical need to keep vehicles flowing along the bridge.
In the visual documentation from the shoot, a black Toyota Camry looms large, its front end showing clear damage and a crushed hood that hints at the impact of one of the hour’s accidents. In a separate collision, a truck struck the back of a passenger car, wreaking havoc on the trunk area and hatch, while a police patrol car sat nearby, underscoring the law enforcement presence on the scene and the coordination required to manage both the accident response and the filming schedule. The atmosphere suggested a tight, real-time balance between production logistics and public safety, with officers directing traffic and ensuring that the set operations did not create additional hazards for nearby travelers.
A separate incident involved a block of ice that had previously dislodged from a truck in the Nizhny Novgorod region, which subsequently struck the windshield of a Hyundai Creta. The event highlighted the broader safety concerns that can arise in filming environments where moving equipment and public roads intersect, reminding crews and observers alike that weather and road conditions remain dynamic factors even as a shoot progresses. The combined episodes on the bridge demonstrated how quickly an on-location production can intersect with real-world traffic, prompting swift responses from road safety personnel to minimize disruption and maintain public safety while the camera rolls.
