I suppose it's oil build up 'cos it never rains in tunnels.

What do we do about that in the UK? Anyone know?

on short tunnels the cars must bring in some water with them but on long tunnels the dust build up mught be the cause. Maybe they didn't wash the tunnel enough?

Or the lead up to the tunnel and the change in lighting was to severe.

or as we're dealing with Russia maybe the vehicles are just unstable at high speed. That said a lot of those accidents were due to tailgating/dodgy driving.

Can anyone explain where the second truck comes from in the incedent about 56 seconds in?

It is certainly not there in the build up but the first truck then swerves to avoid it. Strange

it was there hugging the wall but out of view of the camera due to the tailgating idiot behind.

Wouldn't have thought so....the wheels hit the car hard enough to cause it to rock quite violently before they collide with the motorist himself, and there is no way anyone could take a hit that hard without doing damage to themselves even if it was staged.

I think the truck we can see ran up the back of it out of shot, It span into the wall and was traveling backwards on the "pavement" untill it caught on the tunnel wall.
All of this was hidden infront of the visable truck
