In a separate incident on Leningradsky Prospekt in Moscow, a collision caused one of the two cars to overturn on the roadway. Officials described the scene as challenging, with traffic restrictions impacting several lanes and limiting movement toward the city center to just one of five travel lanes. The Ministry of Transport advised motorists to seek alternate routes and detours to minimize time spent in congestion, emphasizing the importance of staying patient and allowing for extended travel times during peak periods. Traffic authorities monitored the area and implemented temporary traffic redirections to stabilize the situation and reduce the risk of further collisions.
