In Vladivostok, a driver stopped an out-of-control truck, preventing more serious consequences of an accident

On Tuesday, October 1, a massive traffic accident occurred in Vladivostok. The brakes of an Isuzu Forward truck failed while descending along Spiridonov Street. The vehicle rammed several cars and a bus until it crashed into a heavy truck, TASS writes.

The driver of the truck that blocked the truck’s path was Yusuf Kayumov. He took the blow and stopped the out-of-control vehicle.

“The truck was rushing - I saw that it was going into oncoming traffic. What to do? I have this car in front of me - a minibus. He jumped in, rammed it, and I had already made the decision that I needed to stop so that nothing else [would happen],” Kayumov said.

According to preliminary data, six people were injured and 11 cars were damaged as a result of the accident. In Vladivostok, Kayumov was called a hero. As Vesti:Primorye notes, thanks to the man’s determination, more serious consequences of the accident were avoided.
