Fatal Traffic Accident in Botoșani Involving Car and Cart Leaves One Dead and Another Injured: A traffic accident occurred on the county road connecting the town of Flămânzi to the commune of Prăjeni from Sunday night to Monday morning, according to representatives from the Botoșani County Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (ISU).

The accident involved a car and a cart. Emergency crews from the Flămânzi Work Point and the Botoșani Firefighters Detachment responded, arriving with a water extinguishing and extrication module vehicle, the mobile intensive care ambulance SMURD, and a crew from the Botoșani County Ambulance Service.

Upon arrival, crews found the car driver unconscious and trapped. After extricating the victim from the car, the crew determined he had injuries incompatible with life and declared his death.
