In the Sverdlovsk Region, emergency services conducted joint trainings to eliminate the consequences of an emergency caused by adverse weather conditions on the road

According to the legend of the trainings, while clearing the track after heavy snowfalls, the road services found a passenger car in a ditch, the driver of which lost control in bad weather.

The driver and his passenger were trapped in a deformed car. The road workers immediately transferred information about the accident to the emergency services, and they themselves provided a fence for the scene. The traffic police crew that arrived at the scene organized the traffic flow to avoid the formation of a traffic jam. A few minutes later, rescuers from the Ural regional search and rescue team of the Russian Emergencies Ministry arrived at the scene. With the help of a hydraulic rescue tool, the victims were unblocked from the car and handed over to the workers of the emergency medical aid station of the Territorial Center for Disaster Medicine of the Sverdlovsk Region. Fire fighters of the 305th fire and rescue unit in Yekaterinburg eliminated the threat of fire by flushing fuel and lubricants from the roadway using air-mechanical foam. Within half an hour, the consequences of the accident were eliminated.

Summing up, the participants in the exercises noted the high level of interaction of the city's emergency services in responding to emergency situations in the winter.
