Moldovan coach crash in Romania injures 22, including children

A coach carrying 73 Moldovan citizens on holiday collided with a lorry trailer stopped on the side of the road in Romania on Friday night, injuring 22 people, including children.

The accident happened between the towns of Însurăței and Bărăganu in the county of Brăila. The coach was travelling from Moldova to Bulgaria.

The lorry had been involved in an accident the day before, and its trailer was loaded with cereals. The trailer could not be moved, so it was pulled to the side of the road and signalled.

The injured were transported to hospitals in Braila and Slobozia. Some of the injuries were serious, but no fatalities were reported.

The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Igor Grosu, about the new Russian ambassador in Chisinau: "Let's see if he promotes friendship between countries"

The Chisinau authorities have no reason not to accredit the new ambassador of the Russian Federation in Chisinau, Oleg Ozerov, the Parliament Speaker, Igor Grosu, told TV8. According to the official, the rejection of Ozerov's candidacy would serve as a basis for Moscow to victimize itself and accuse Chisinau of acting against the Russian Federation. The clarifications were made in the context in which Oleg Ozerov made controversial statements during his career and allegedly had links with the Wagner paramilitary group.
