A slippery road and poor visibility resulted in a massive car collision near the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk.
After three cars crashed, 17 accidents broke out on a four-kilometer-long section of the motorway.
In just forty minutes a domino effect caused the pile up of 43 vehicles, local authorities reported.
There were no casualties but the motorway was blocked for hours before traffic police could reopen it.

It is a miracle nobody died in this wreck. People here in California insist on driving fast in fog, and every few years there is a massive wreck, involving dozens of vehicles and several deaths. The fogs here can truly be called "killer". Hope everybody in that Siberian mess lives long enough to be "sadder and wiser".
