Winter driving mishap leaves Lada Granta wrecked in Tonshayevsky snowstorm

A 40-year-old driver, whose name has not been released, experienced an accident with their Lada Granta in the Tonshayevsky district yesterday. The incident occurred during the region's first snowfall, which led to multiple accidents across the area within 24 hours. The driver was traveling at an unsafe speed on a long curve, causing them to lose control and collide with a Gazelle van. It is suspected that the driver's use of summer tires on the snow-covered road may have contributed to the accident. An investigation is currently underway to determine the exact cause of the incident. The driver's identity remains unknown, and the investigation continues. Authorities remind drivers to adjust their driving habits and tire choices according to weather conditions to ensure safety on the roads.
