''Intense rainfall. Thick layers of clouds darken a summer evening. Through the gloom, we can notice a caravan. It is a group of six vehicles (an ambulance and a couple of trucks stay in the center). Something has stopped them as they were siding a collapsed highway. The second truck is stuck in the muddy terrain. Its wheels are half-buried by its own weight. Eight small figures are running forth and back harnessing both of the trucks. The lights inside the cockpits show us the shapes of other people waiting in their driving positions''.

Intense rainfall.

Thick layers of clouds darken a summer evening.
(you can't really see that through heavy rain, can you? geyser)

Through the gloom (and sheets of falling water... geyser), we can see a convoy of six vehicles.

The ones towards the middle are an ambulance and a couple of trucks.
(what are the other vehicles, then? or do you mean we can't see them clearly enough, except for an overall shape? geyser)

Something has stopped them as they were siding a collapsed highway.

(siding??? bypassing a damaged section of the road... or driving along a collapsed viaduct? geyser).

Not like we really care why it "collapsed", but I'm curious as for what "collapsed highway" means.
A "highway" is just a regular road, not an elevated one, so it can't come down in the way a bridge can.
And if we're talking about an elevated freeway, then there should be a reason why it was erected in the first place
either we're very close to a city (and the freeway passes over other constructions),
or the viaduct is bridging something : a swamp, a canyon, or just too steep a slope to put an ordinary road on.

(New panel? geyser)

The second truck got stuck in the muddy terrain.

Its wheels are half-buried under its weight
(All its wheels... wow. Haven't they seen it coming? geyser)
(If the second truck got all its wheels buried up to the axle, then :

Eight small figures are running back and forth setting up the first truck to tow the second out.

The cabin lights mark the shapes of the drivers waiting in their seats.



KAZUO (a driver) is leaning onto the dashboard of his vehicle (the ambulance? geyser)
