In Ussuriysk, a serious traffic incident unfolded when an SUV struck a pedestrian and then plunged from a bridge into the water below. The event was reported by the Telegram channel City Primorye, which also circulated a video detailing the aftermath and the impact on those involved.
The collision occurred as the driver was traveling toward the Zagorodny village, according to initial reports. The pedestrian, positioned near a bicycle on the bridge, reportedly failed to notice the oncoming vehicle because his attention was diverted to a mobile phone screen. In the moments of impact, the SUV driver lost control and subsequently fell from the bridge, the vehicle’s front wheels briefly disappearing beneath the surface of the water. The pedestrian sustained injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment and observation on arrival, with medical teams providing ongoing care as the situation developed, (City Primorye).
Footage from the scene captured the moment of submersion, showing the car partially submerged before the driver managed to exit the vehicle on his own through the rear door, an escape that appeared to be aided by the vehicle’s angle and buoyancy in the water. Emergency responders arrived promptly and began assessing both the driver and the pedestrian, focusing on stabilization and rescue operations in the challenging bridge-location environment, (City Primorye).
In related context, a separate detail emerged about a person named Ceylan, who had been carrying documents in Kemerovo prior to the incident and reportedly dropped papers along Lenin Boulevard after applying the brakes in a separate encounter. This line of information underscores the broader chaos and scattered consequences that can follow a sudden traffic event, though the exact linkage to the Ussuriysk incident remains unclear and is subject to ongoing verification, (City Primorye).
Another earlier report involved a woman who had been in Chelyabinsk and was reportedly attacked in a car as attempts were made to flee the scene of the crash. This portion of coverage highlights how emergency news cycles can intersect with multiple, sometimes unconnected, incidents on nearby roads while authorities work to piece together accurate timelines and causal relationships, (City Primorye).
Authorities have urged drivers and pedestrians to exercise heightened caution near bridges and waterfront areas, especially in busy urban corridors where distractions can lead to dangerous situations. Investigators are expected to review dashcam footage, traffic camera records, and witness statements to establish a clear sequence of events, determine fault, and identify any contributing factors such as speed, weather, lighting, and the behavior of individuals near the bridge at the time of the accident. Updates will be provided as official findings are confirmed, (City Primorye).
