Truck skids off road on dangerous curve in Kamchik

On July 20, a traffic accident on the Kamchik pass once again showed what consequences inattention while driving can lead to. A MAN-brand truck heading from Tashkent toward the valley overturned at one of the dangerous turns of the Kamchik.

The incident occurred at around 14:32 on the Kamchik section of the A-373 highway. What is noteworthy is that the truck overturned along with its rear trailer, which created additional technical danger. Following the incident, a request for assistance was sent to the Kamchik special search and rescue unit under the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

The MES rescuers quickly arrived at the scene. Using special equipment, a crane, and heavy machinery, they carried out operations to move the MAN truck to a safe zone. To ensure road safety, the road was temporarily closed, and drivers were urged to use detour routes.

Especially, the weight and speed of heavy trucks can increase the risk of losing control in such areas. This puts not only the driver but also surrounding vehicles and passengers at risk.

According to the MES, luck was on their side this time. No one was injured in the traffic accident. The driver is also safe, quickly assessed the situation, and took responsibility.

Such situations must serve as a lesson. When passing complex and mountainous roads like Kamchik, truck drivers must act with maximum attention and caution. Every turn, every brake press matters greatly.

Experts emphasize that most traffic accidents are linked to technical maintenance and the human factor. Regular inspection of vehicle condition, brake system, trailer reliability, and steering functionality — all are crucial aspects.

Also, the coordinated work of the Kamchik rescue unit and their prompt response to the emergency helped prevent serious consequences.

Once again, road users are reminded — no cargo is worth more than a human life. On every sharp turn, narrow road, or in bad weather conditions, it is better to think twice before proceeding.

This case also indicates that not only drivers, but transport companies should also strengthen internal safety control. If the equipment is sound and the driver is attentive, even Kamchik’s road can be easy and safe.

In conclusion, the truck overturn incident that occurred yesterday on Kamchik ended fortunately. But relying on accidental “luck” is not the solution — it is time to act systematically, with prevention and a sense of responsibility. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
