There is something up with that tunnel - I wonder if cars are catching themselves on a rail or there is a lane merging in we can't see (like the truck that appears out of nowhere). Some of those accidents were also caused by people ignoring the solid line.

I just can't stand but to come back and keep watching the bus drift.

There must be some black ice or something in that tunnel to cause all those vehicles to lose control. I still can't figure out the 2 trucks flipping on their sides. Seems like one was going the wrong way and they had a head on.

Lol, if you notice everyone who slams on their brakes stops immediately, no black ice, just bad drivers

I wonder if there is a sharp turn prior to the tunnel. It looks like people are trying to overcorrect prior to coming into frame.

most of the accidents seems to occur when a car changes lanes into a lane where a car is speeding

No doubt some of the problem is the very common flask that many Russian vehicles come standard with.
