Heavy snowfall descended on Russia's far eastern city of Vladivostok over the weekend, transforming roads into icy slip 'n slides for vehicles. Damaged vehicles lined one such city road, abandoned by their owners after slipping down the icy roadway and smashing into other vehicles. Owners decided that it's better to leave the cars where they are and wait for a tow truck or better weather conditions rather than risk losing control once more and damaging their vehicle further.
