This Russian federal freeway connecting Moscow to Yakutsk in Siberia has no asphalt pavement, making it impassable whenever it rains. Photos were taken after nearly 600 cars were stranded due to heavy rains, resulting in food and fuel shortages. Witnesses reported a woman giving birth on a bus, as construction crews were afraid to help due to previous assaults from frustrated stranded motorists who had broken into cars to find food, warm clothes, gasoline, firearms and steel cables to survive being stuck for days without supplies.
