According to rumors, there used to be a cemetery near the village of Dumchevo. Local residents, knowing the peculiarity of this territory, always drive through it at a reduced speed
Another road accident occurred on the "anomalous" section of the Altai - Kuzbass highway in the Zalesovsky district, where the motorcade of the governor of the Kemerovo region, Aman Tuleyev, had an accident earlier. The driver of Opel, in poor visibility conditions, did not notice a passing car - a Volvo truck - and made a collision. The driver of the car and his wife died on the spot. Another Opel passenger has been hospitalized.
On February 11, Tuleyev, during his working trip to the Altai Republic, traveled in an official Mercedes through the Altai Territory, accompanied by a local traffic police crew. Near the village of Zalesovo, the driver of "KamAZ" driving towards him lost control due to icy conditions, and the loaded truck was driven into the oncoming lane. The traffic police crew took the blow. As a result, both traffic police officers were injured: Major Sergei Krivashin and Lieutenant Colonel Mikhail Freyev, who later died.
“This is a lost place. For the past ten years, strange things have been happening here - people are constantly dying in accidents. Moreover, it is often impossible to explain what happened. For example, not so long ago a "six" flew at full speed into a foreign car parked on the opposite side of the road. Three people died on the spot. And by the way, the road here is flat, not a single turn,”says one of the residents of the village of Zalesovo. According to rumors, there used to be a cemetery in this area, NEWSru.com reports.
