Reuters was able to confirm the location of the video as Kemerovo, Russia, from the road layout, road signs and markings, trees and poles seen in the video that matched archival and satellite images of the area. The date was confirmed by official and local media reports.

Russian news agency Interfax said in its report that up to 102 people were injured after the runaway tram collided with others further down the line.
