Earlier today we posted a video of a fire truck versus car intersection collision from 2010. Our readers say this video is from Russia (but still no details on the crash).
What I didn’t know, but just ran across was this dramatic and tragic video of a collision between some sort of rescue vehicle and a tractor trailer that, according to the information on the video, occurred on Tuesday. The only information I have been able to find (unless someone is able to translate the TV news report below) is from LiveLeak that claims it happened in Spasskaya-Polist’, a town in Russia and that two people were killed.

Looks like he couldn’t stop in time to avoid hitting the rig in front of him, but really… into oncoming traffic was a better choice???
wow; momentary laspe of reasoning
Dave,
Been a few decades since I did any translation of fast-speaking Russian news broadcasts, but I was able to pull out a couple of things. It happened near the border of the Novgorod Oblast (an Oblast is an administrative divsion, loosely analogous to a state or county) – directly south of St. Petersburg, NW of Moscow – and that the drivers of both vehicles perished, but the passengers/crew of the emergency vehicle survived.
