Convoys of two, three or more cars following either a government official or one of the wealthy capitalists that emerged in Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, is nothing new, but watching these vehicles crash into each other is something we don’t get to see very often, if at all.

According to the date displayed on the dashcam video, an incident of this sort happened last Friday, October 19, when what we assume to be the security personnel riding in Cadillac Escalade SUVs were trying to keep up to their boss who was in a black Maybach saloon, while also prohibiting any other vehicles from breaking their formation.

What they weren’t expecting was a fourth, unrelated Audi A4 that evidently slowed down to enter into the left lane of the road.

Due the short distance kept between the three vehicles, once the Maybach rear-ended the Audi, the Cadillac SUVs had little to no room to wiggle and came crashing in from behind.
