The accident occurred on section R93 of the road between Babruysk and the village of Yasny Les. It is reported that one person was examined by medics.
Due to unfavorable conditions, the State Traffic Inspectorate warns that dust storms may appear on the roads, sharply reducing visibility and increasing the risk of accidents. Drivers are advised to refrain from trips if possible, and if already driving, to reduce speed, increase distance, and avoid sudden maneuvers.
Special caution should be exercised on open sections of roads, bridges, and overpasses, where the wind is stronger. It is also recommended to turn on low beam headlights when visibility deteriorates. Pedestrians are advised to cross the road only after making sure that traffic has indeed stopped.
