A minibus carrying passengers was overturned after a truck transporting sand crashed into the back of it in Volgograd, Russia.

Footage from June 13 shows the minibus being flipped onto its side as the truck smashes into the back of it at a set of traffic lights.

Pedestrians only just managed to move out of the way of the oncoming truck.

The four passengers inside the minibus were injured and the driver was hospitalised.

A 46-year-old resident of R. Dagestan, driving a Renault Premium truck, was moving along Universitetsky Avenue towards the Kirovsky District. Opposite building No. 64 on Universitetsky Ave., a truck crashed into a GAZelle car (route No. 31K), which was in front of a traffic light, driven by a 49-year-old driver. From the impact, the minibus collided with the support of the traffic light object and the railings and overturned. Barely dodged pedestrians crossing the road at a permitting traffic light. The truck driver drove on without stopping.
As a result of the road accident, the driver of the GAZelle was hospitalized, and four passengers of the minibus aged 36, 54, 55 and 36 were injured.
