Video: Dash-cam view of yet another insane car accident in Russia

One could say that we only see the amount of car crashes we see from Russia because they all have dash-cams in their cars. On the other hand, they might just have more crazy drivers than anywhere else.

One could say that we only see the amount of car crashes we see from Russia because they all have dash-cams in their cars. On the other hand, they might just have more crazy drivers than anywhere else.

Rarely a week goes by without a video of a crazy collision or two caught on a dash-cam in Russia and this week is no different.

In this case, nothing unusual appears to be happening on the road until, out of nowhere, a car comes flying towards pretty heavy traffic at a serious speed in the wrong direction and crashes into a number of them before (we can only imagine because we can’t actually see on camera) grinding to a halt further down the road.

Thankfully, nobody was seriously injured and it is a miracle they weren’t when you consider the speed of the oncoming car and the number of vehicles involved.

Just another day on Russian roads then.

Thanks to Ray Smith for giving us the heads up on this one
