An out of control fuel tanker reportedly crashed into several cars before smashing through the protective gates on a bridge and tumbled into a river this morning in Russia.

Local media said that the driver survived the accident and was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

Aside from the dash-cam footage that captured the accident as it happened, we also found a TV news report showing how the emergency crews lifted the truck out of the freezing waters.

If any of our bilingual readers know what was said in the report, please drop a translation in the comments.
