Sochi is the Russian city that will play host to the XXII Olympic Winter Games in February 2014. It’s also where two odd accidents took place on Thursday. Surveillance cameras captured footage of the crashes that happened very close in time with many commentators believing they’re related.

The first incident shows a grey (?) car swerving in and out before crashing into the cement wall on the side of the road. Shortly after, we see a red hatch losing control and veering into the opposite lane crashing into an oncoming vehicle.

Given that both cars seem to have swerved on more or less, the same section, we’re suspecting that it has something to do with the road, possibly an oil spill or a bump. What do you think happened? Tell us in the comments below.
