A terrible accident happened today on the M-11 Moscow Highway. Two trucks crashed into a car at kilometer 194 around eleven in the morning. The Mercedes Actros truck had a tire blowout as it moved in the left lane. It hit a SITRAK truck carrying an excavator. The SITRAK later smashed into an OMODA car driving ahead of it.
Both trucks caught fire during this scary event. The Mercedes driver, age 41, suffered injuries, according to the Tver Region traffic police. The road closed completely after the crash. Fire crews put out the flames by 10:54, with final extinguishing reported at 11:40. The Mercedes burned almost entirely, leaving the SITRAK with major damage.
Officials sent traffic to a different route at kilometer 208 of the M-10 "Russia" highway. Yandex Traffic showed small backups forming near the accident area in both directions. The emergency caused delays for many drivers today. Road crews worked hard to clear the scene. Because of the rerouting, most travelers faced longer drive times.
