In the Chelyabinsk region, a traffic incident occurred when a passenger car overturned with people inside. The event was documented by regional traffic control authorities and later clarified by road safety officials in the area.
The collision happened in the Sosnovsky district along the 1852nd kilometer of the Moscow-Chelyabinsk highway. Early data indicate that the driver of a Cherry-brand vehicle may have been distracted, leading to a collision with a foreign-made car that had already stopped on the roadside.

Photographic footage from the scene shows substantial damage to the rear of the overturned car, while the first car also sustained notable hood damage. Investigators are assessing the sequence of events and the exact speed at the time of the crash.

In the immediate aftermath, several motorists pulled over to assist the injured and secure the scene. A local report noted that one of the young women was seen lying on a camping mat before emergency responders arrived to provide care.
Authorities reminding drivers about the dangers of distraction and the importance of safe stopping positions on busy highways, especially on routes connecting major regional centers. The incident is being treated as part of ongoing traffic safety investigations in the region.
