The accident occurred on Wednesday afternoon (July 15) when the car with Moldovan license plates, in which the parents and their two children were traveling, collided with a tanker truck. Firefighters who arrived at the scene carried out a rescue operation using specialized rescue equipment. A woman and an infant were pulled from the vehicle unconscious, while a man and a minor were extricated with serious injuries, reportedly suffering from head injuries.

An EKAB emergency response team arrived immediately at the scene and provided initial care using a rapid-response vehicle; three ambulances subsequently arrived and transported the four occupants of the car as well as the tanker truck driver to the hospital.

Unfortunately, the father, who had been seriously injured, did not survive and passed away. The minor remains hospitalized, while the tanker truck driver is in good health.
