BelAZ Dump Truck Crushed a Passenger Car with People Inside Like a Toy

The accident occurred at a coal mine in Kuzbass, Russia.

A BelAZ dump truck ran over a passenger car with people inside at a coal mine in the Kuzbass region of Russia. The car was completely crushed, and the people inside were killed.

The accident occurred on the morning of Monday, August 22, at the Mezhdurechensk coal mine. A BelAZ dump truck, which is a large mining truck, was driving down a road when it collided with a passenger car. The car was completely crushed, and the people inside were killed. According to a local source, the car was waiting in a queue to pass through the gate when the BelAZ truck ran over it, killing the driver and a passenger on the spot.

The victims of the accident have not yet been identified. The police are investigating the accident. They did not share whether the truck driver will be charged in connection with this tragic accident.

This is not the first time that a BelAZ dump truck has been involved in a fatal accident. In 2020, a BelAZ dump truck killed two people in a similar accident at a coal mine in the Kemerovo region of Russia. The truck driver in that case was charged with violating traffic safety rules.

BelAZ dump trucks are known for their size and power. They are used to transport large loads of coal and other materials in mines and quarries. The trucks can weigh up to 400 tons and can travel at speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour. Despite their size and power, however, BelAZ dump trucks are not always safe. They can be difficult to control, and they can be involved in accidents if they are not operated properly.

The accident in Kuzbass is a reminder of the dangers of working in a mine. It is also a reminder of the importance of following safety procedures when operating heavy machinery.
