This Russian Federal Highway connecting Moscow to Yakutsk City in Siberia has no asphalt surface, causing it to paralyze whenever it rains. Approximately 600 vehicles recently became stuck in the mud for days, with travelers experiencing hunger, running out of fuel, and in one case a woman giving birth on a bus. Construction teams were afraid to help due to previous assaults by stranded travelers, and people broke into trucks for food, clothing, and supplies as conditions deteriorated along the unpaved and poorly maintained road.
