A minibus on route no.192 in Chisinau carrying 14 passengers crashed into a tree. Several passengers suffered minor injuries and one was taken to the hospital with a head trauma and a concussion, Info-Prim Neo reports.
The accident took place at the intersection of the streets Tighina and Alexei Mateevici. The driver claims he tried to avoid a car which turned suddenly and this lead to a run-off-road collision with a tree. The other driver claims he signalized in time that he was turning.
