A serious road accident on Amir Temur Avenue, one of the main streets of Tashkent, has caused a strong reaction on social media.
Footage captured by surveillance cameras and eyewitnesses shows a group of young drivers organizing a street race. Their actions endangered not only themselves but also other drivers and pedestrians.
In one of the videos, a Gentra driver loses control at high speed, crashes into a concrete barrier, and the car bursts into flames. Within seconds, the vehicle is engulfed. The video clearly shows smoke coming from the engine compartment, followed by a fire consuming the entire body of the car.
So far, no official comment has been made about the incident. However, social media users are actively criticizing the situation. Many demand stricter penalties for illegal street racing, calling it extremely dangerous.
There is no confirmed information yet on whether anyone else was in the car or if there were any injuries. Unverified sources suggest that the driver survived with minor injuries.
The crash occurred in a densely populated part of the avenue, with many witnesses on the scene. This likely explains why the video went viral so quickly and sparked widespread discussion.
Law enforcement agencies may have launched an investigation. Many internet users are calling for serious measures against illegal street racers.
Such incidents are becoming increasingly frequent and raise public concern. Organizing high-speed races in crowded urban areas poses deadly risks to everyone on the road.
