He saw that three cars (Gazelle, Skoda Octavia and VAZ 2110) collided. Egor decided to ask if drivers need some help. Klinaev got out of his car and joined the discussion of the incident. The Deu Nexia driver also stopped his car and intended to understand the situation. Meanwhile, the Honda Accord driver didn't notice the accident.
