A video submitted by a Mothership reader showed the aftermath of the accident.

The van was resting on its side on the road and a man was seen climbing out of the vehicle's driver-side window.

Two people were seen rendering assistance.

A photo circulated on Telegram showed at least two other cars before the tunnel entrance.
