Twleve Romanians Injured In Car Accident Near Szeged, Hungary

 

Romanian bus driver Darius Chesnoiu said the accident was caused by one of the passengers, who got near to him while he was driving and grabbed the steering wheel, which led the bus off the road. The driver said he couldn’t manage to bring the car back on the right and the vehicle collided with a car parked on a secondary road and overturned. 

The passengers had to use the emergency exits and the windows.

Local police spokesperson Szilvana Tuczakov said the passenger who caused the accident will be questioned after he receives medical care.

The bus, which carried 52 people, was coming from Spain and heading for the Romanian border.

The 12 Romanians injured receive medical care in the local hospital and three of them are in serious condition, Alin Serbanescu, spokesperson of the Romanian Foreign Affairs Ministry, told MEDIAFAX Wednesday.

Serbanescu said the deputy consul of Romania to Szeged is present at the hospital where the victims were admitted, and the other members of the Consulate are in contact with the group of Romanians and the Hungarian authorities.

“From what we know, there are no children among the injured,” Serbanescu said, adding three victims are in serious condition.

He added the 37 Romanian passengers who were not injured will come to Romania by another bus, which has been sent by the travel agency who owned the vehicle involved in the accident.
