A multiple-vehicle collision happened on the Bucharest – Constanta highway 2 in the morning of November 5. Three persons died, while another 36 were injured. The Inspectorate for Emergencies put the red intervention plan into practice, Mediafax says on its website, quoted by IPN. There is yet no information about Moldovans among the casualties.

Head of the Department for Emergency Situations of the Romanian Ministry of the Interior Raed Arafat said the relatives or those who want to find out details about the state of those hurt can call on 0212648516 and 0212648515.

It is alleged that the accident was due to the dense fog, which prevents a helicopter operation for taking the victims to the hospital from being conducted.
