A coach carrying 47 Greek passengers has crashed right into a peak restriction barrier in Romania’s capital, leaving one individual lifeless and greater than 20 injured.

The incident occurred in central Bucharest at round 1.30pm.

Raed Arafat, the top of Romania’s Department for Emergency Situations, informed reporters that 22 of the passengers have been taken to native hospitals, and one stays in a crucial situation.

Photos printed in native media retailers present the roof of the automobile crushed beneath the peak barrier. All of the occupants, together with the motive force, have been Greek residents, authorities stated.

“The emergency response has ended at this point,” Mr Arafat stated, including that the motive force remained to offer statements to police.
