“According to preliminary data, the driver of a heavy goods vehicle did not slow down in good time and hit a stationary minibus,” the Ulyanovsk area’s inside ministry stated in an announcement.

Road works on the scene of the incident meant the minibus was ready in a queue to maneuver, it stated. “The minibus was wedged between two lorries,” the ministry stated.

Video footage broadcast by the police confirmed the crumpled husk of what seemed to be a minibus sandwiched between two lorries and emergency service staff later inspecting the flattened automobile.
