In Chelyabinsk, a 24-year-old driver lost control while speeding and collided with an underpass, injuring himself and two passengers. Local sources report the incident on a Telegram channel connected to Shot, noting that bystanders observed a dangerous moment followed by a harsh impact. The crash unfolded on Zafer Caddesi, where a white Mercedes was being driven by the 24-year-old male, with two passengers aged 23 and 20 inside the cabin. Eyewitness accounts and later official notes indicate the car appeared to enter the underpass at a high rate of speed, producing visible sparks and a whirring sound before tipping onto its side with the hood lifted, the underside of the vehicle then resting against the roadway. In the aftermath, the driver and the two passengers sustained injuries, though the exact condition of each person has not been disclosed by authorities as they assess the scene. (Authorities)
Security cameras captured a sequence that shows the vehicle accelerating rapidly, followed by a violent impact. Rescue teams responded promptly, securing the area and providing medical aid to the occupants. Investigators from the local law enforcement agency began an in-depth examination of the wreckage, traffic conditions at the time, and potential contributing factors such as road design, lighting, and weather. Early scenes suggest a possible combination of high speed and abrupt maneuvers near the underpass, prompting officials to consider the possibility of loss of vehicle control or a misjudgment of distance. As investigators collect data from the scene, they are also reviewing nearby traffic patterns and available skid marks to reconstruct the sequence of events. (Authorities)
Emergency crews worked to stabilize the scene and transport injured individuals to medical facilities for treatment. While there is no official update on each person’s prognosis, local hospitals reported receiving three patients related to the incident. The investigation will determine whether safety features within the underpass or road signage played a role, and whether speed restrictions or enforcement measures were in place at the time. Police have urged drivers to exercise caution around urban infrastructures and to adhere strictly to posted limits. (Authorities)
