For the first time since the opening of the Crimean bridge, a traffic accident occurred on it. Passenger car collided with a passenger bus. "In the daytime, at 142 km A-290 (a kilometer after the entrance to the bridge from Taman's side), a passenger car with a non-observance of the distance admitted a collision with a passenger bus," the "Kryminform" agency was informed in the information center "Crimean Bridge". In the accident no one was hurt. The movement on the bridge did not overlap. Participants of the road accident have formalized the protocol in a simplified form. According to PKU Uprdor "Taman" for 16 days since the opening of the movement, over the Crimean bridge in both directions traveled more than 212.7 thousand vehicles.

The department notes that the number of buses crossing the Kerch Strait along the new highway has increased. Among the main violations of traffic rules recorded an excess of speed and stopping at an incorrect place. Crimean bridge was inaugurated on May 15. Russian President Vladimir Putin was the first to drive the KamAZ truck through the ferry, recalls RIA FAN.
