Moscow's Crazy Roads: Streetlight Comes Crashing Down

Speeding along Leningradskoye Shosse on Friday evening, this driver witnessed something unexpected — so unexpected that she let out a yelp of astonishment.

A streetlight collapsed by the side of the main road, sending sparks in all directions and narrowly missing an SUV, which managed to break to avoid a collision.
