In Russia, a car crashed into a bridge support and fell into a river: The driver was rescued by jumping into the water.

Dramatic incident at a bridge in Russia

According to The Sun: On the night from Sunday to Monday, a terrible accident occurred in Russia: A car driving at high speed went airborne, crashed into a support of an unfinished bridge, and caught fire. This event was recorded by surveillance cameras.

The video shows the car speeding down the road, suddenly slowing down, and disappearing into the mud at the construction site. Then it went airborne, crashed into the support, caught fire, and fell into the river.

Fortunately, the driver survived, as the water extinguished the fire and provided a soft landing.

Bridge workers, who heard a loud bang early in the morning, discovered tire tracks, a bumper, and a license plate at the accident scene.

The driver was taken to the hospital after this dramatic incident that took place in the Bistrý Tany river in Bashkortostan.

Amazing survival of an elderly woman

This is not the only case of remarkable survival in Russia. An elderly woman who fell from the sixth floor of a building landed safely on a car. Video footage from surveillance cameras shows her falling, but fortunately, she only sustained minor injuries and immediately sought help.

“I saw her lying on my car from the window. They say she was the neighbor from the sixth floor,” reported the owner of the Hyundai.

Authorities noted that the woman may have accidentally fallen out of the window due to carelessness.

Sad incident with a model

Unfortunately, another news from Russia is associated with the tragic death of 30-year-old model Ksenia Alexandrowa, who died in a car accident when an elk crashed into her car. Ksenia was driving a Porsche when the accident occurred, and despite sustaining serious injuries, she was taken to the hospital but died a few weeks later.

Ksenia was a finalist in the "Miss Russia" contest in 2017 and also participated in the "Miss Universe" contest that same year.

These incidents once again remind us of the unpredictability of life and the dangers that lurk on the roads. As can be seen from these stories, fate can change in an instant, depending on the circumstances. Events in Russia highlight the importance of road safety and can also serve as a lesson for many drivers.
