During a heavy downpour and strong winds in Bashkiria, a section of concrete and brick from a building collapsed and struck a car parked beside a multi-storey structure. The incident left the vehicle immobilized, according to Telegram channel BashDTP, which also shared footage of the event. It was reported that no occupants were inside the parked cars at the moment of impact. Surveillance video shows a portion of the building giving way and slamming into a golden Kia Rio that was stationed next to the building as rain intensified. The force of the fall hit the car on its left side and the roof, with the windshield taking a direct blow as well. The roof of the Kia was crushed, and sizeable chunks of concrete, bricks, and roofing material scattered across the area. Debris from the collapse also flew toward a nearby white Hyundai Solaris that was parked in proximity. In the aftermath, observers noted the danger posed by weather-related structural failures and the potential for secondary damage from flying debris. The incident underscores the importance of maintaining safe distances from buildings and parked vehicles during severe storms, and it highlights the role of security cameras in documenting such events for later investigation (BashDTP Telegram channel).
In a related, separate report from Cherepovets, authorities referenced an earlier incident involving a driver who violated traffic rules. That individual reportedly crashed into a roadside fence at an intersection and died while attempting to evade law enforcement. The juxtaposition of these events serves as a reminder of how swiftly weather, vehicle safety, and adherence to traffic regulations can intersect with serious consequences for road users. Observers and local officials are likely to review emergency response times, structural assessments of nearby buildings, and public safety messaging to prevent similar occurrences in the future (attribution: BashDTP; local news outlets).
