A motorist was left in a coma after a train collided with his car at a level crossing in the Moscow region.
The video indicates that the level crossing's barrier were not working and cars continued crossing right up until the crash took place.
The train continued to push the car along the tracks, coming to a stop at the platform at Scherbinka, 8-kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road.
Rescue workers struggled to dislodge the vehicle from the tracks.
An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
