Drivers heading in the opposite direction captured the burning bus on video. Clips of the vehicles engulfed in flames quickly made their way to social media.

According to witness accounts, a Kamaz truck collided with the bus. At least one person was killed in the accident.

There are unconfirmed reports that just before the collision, the bus had stopped due to a malfunction.

Shortly after the accident, on the Beltway – home to Moscow's population of several million – a massive traffic jam formed.
