According to Khaleej Times, “On June 16, surveillance cameras on the M-5 Ural road in Chelyabinsk Province captured the moment the out of control truck was seen hurtling towards the halted traffic. The truck drives into the vehicles, crushing five cars. According to the provincial administration of internal affairs, the truck suffered brake failure and the driver could not control the vehicle following which the accident took place, reported RT news.”
