Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The incident took place on January 3 on the A1 highway, which runs from Astana to Petropavlovsk. The footage (see video above) shows icy conditions and poor visibility as the vehicles crashed into each other in the snowfall and storm.
The Kazakh Ministry of Health announced that the injured were taken to a nearby hospital, where they fortunately only had to be treated for minor injuries, according to local media.
Authorities blamed the pile-up on the failure of drivers to adhere to the speed limit and maintain a safe distance in such poor visibility conditions.
According to the police, 24 vehicles involved in the pile-up had to be towed away, while 30 others were able to leave the scene of the accident under their own power.
