The list of victims of an accident with a minibus on the highway in the Moscow region has been published

A list of victims of a three-car accident on the M-12 highway in Noginsk near Moscow has appeared. The corresponding list is published by Izvestia.

Nine people were injured in the accident. Five of them were in the minibus: Andrey Sh., born in 1977; Ivan P., born in 1985; Alexey B., born in 1968; Abil A., born in 1977; and Boris Z., born in 1980. Four more victims, including two children who were in other cars, were Mikhail L., born in 2012; Alevtina L., born in 2019; Pavel L., born in 1989; and Olga L., born in 1988.

As a result of the incident, two people died — a boy born in 2015 and a woman born in 1967.

"Operational services have left for the accident site, including a medical helicopter, which will transport the injured for medical assistance. A multi-kilometer traffic jam has now formed on the highway itself. People get out of their cars and wait for traffic to be restored," said Alexander Orlov, a correspondent for Izvestia.

According to him, the collision occurred due to the fact that the minibus driver was distracted and crashed into a stopped car with a flat tire, the driver of which had recently got out of the car to install an emergency sign.

"Cars are starting to leave the blocked M-12 highway now. The thing is that they were allowed to return to Moscow via Electric Coal. The road is officially closed," said Kristina Morozova, a correspondent for Izvestia.
