Dashcam video shows a terrible traffic accident that occurred on the morning of Sunday, November 19, on the federal highway M-5, near the city of Miass, Russia.

The driver of a VAZ drove into oncoming traffic as he was busy overtaking atruck. The car returned to its lane after the obertake but after a few moments the car flew back to the opposite lane where it collided with a MAN truck.

The MAN truck plowed the guardrail and ended into the oncoming lane oalso crashing into 3 more vehicles, amongst them a Scania truck and a Lada.

The driver and passenger of the VAZ died on the spot. The man who drove the truck was seriously injured in a collision with another truck and was hospitalized.

As a result of the accident, traffic on the section of the federal highway, where it occurred, was completely blocked.

The driver of the VAZ must have wandered too close to the guardrail and over-corrected across the centerline of the road, colliding with the Semi. It only takes but a second for everything that was, to be no more.

A man truck??? As opposed to a woman truck?

And what on earth is a VAZ?

A VAZ is a Russian Car. A MAN truck is built by the same people that built the U-Boat diesel engines in WWII for Germany. They build diesel trucks now, since there is no market for U-Boat engines.
It's actually M.A.N. "Motorgesellschat Auf Nuremburg" or some other German poly-syllabic name. Add 60 more consonants, and 20 more vowels, mix in any order, and you will have the actual name of the company. It's easier to just call it MAN.

If you watch the video carefully, there is a motorcycle jammed onto the R/H guard rail. I think when the car pulled into his lane, in front of the truck, he ran over a motorcyclist, then arced out of his lane and hit the truck. All you can see is the car and truck wreck, but as all the traffic is coming to a halt, you can see the motorcycle laying on the r/h curb area. I also assume that's the motorcyclist laying in the road, afterwards. Anyone else seeing this?

Man, guess that was too much for her, she was what appeared to be vomiting at the sight of the wreck.

You're right. I didn't catch that. I thought she was looking over the guardrail to see where someone went. But you can see her retching as she approaches the guardrail.

I see what you're seeing but I think it's part of the car and either the driver or passenger been flung out on the road

I thought it was a truck driver.
