Two armored personnel carriers traveling through a Russian city crashed into several passenger cars on Wednesday, leading to traffic mayhem, a local news website reported.
The traffic accident was sparked when one armored personnel carrier leading the traffic queue suddenly began to reverse, squashing the four vehicles behind it against the other armored personnel carrier, the local takt-tv.ru news outlet cited witnesses as saying.
Four cars were jammed between the two military vehicles, according to images posted online from the city of Kursk. Videos depicted the drivers of the four vehicles arguing while the soldiers driving the vehicles chatted nearby.
TASS reported there were no casualties.
Meanwhile, last year in northern Russia, an armored personnel carrier was used in a robbery when a man who hijacked the vehicle rammed it into a shop in order to steal some wine.
The footage from Kursk comes a day after drivers on Moscow’s ring road witnessed two intercontinental ballistic missile carriers stuck in traffic.

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.
