In the Sysolsky district, truckers from Turkey were rescued from freezing on the highway. Five trucks stopped near the village of Vizinga. The signal for help was received by the duty officer on Saturday, November 26.

The head of the civil defense sector of the district administration, Dmitry Kiyashchenko, told Komiinform news agency that drivers passing by a convoy of trucks turned to the unified dispatch service.
