Investigations are ongoing to ascertain the circumstances under which it happened the bus accident in Bucharestwhile two people are hospitalized in critical condition.
According to OPEN, five people were discharged at Christmas and today one more person may also be discharged. Alongside, until noon, the autopsy will be performed on the body of the man who lost his life.
The same time, the driver is being investigated if he had entered the GPS code for a car and not a bus. This is how the Romanian authorities interpret the change of lane from the right to the left.
Speaking on the same channel, the driver’s lawyer, Alexandros Matthaiou, stated that he does not know the specific detail about the GPS.
“With the GPS at the last minute he had to choose where to go and he chose the tunnel in seconds”. “He also had the other line to the right of the tunnel but the man figured out how to move. After the tragedy happened he told me I couldn’t see the signs because there was traffic. I took a look to see before the tunnel, but I couldn’t.”
The lawyer emphasized that the driver had not developed a high speed and that there was a sign that he could not see, a bus was blocking his view.
“The driver was driving from Thessaloniki to Bucharest and stopped several times for a break. He wasn’t tired”he said.
“The responsibilities are elsewhere. This tunnel was renovated throughout the summer and has been operating since September. From then until now we have had 6-7 accidents and in the past trucks and buses used to pass through this tunnel without any problems. I do not agree with this system, this limiter. He is very heavy. If the construction was lighter, this problem would not arise. The man says “I did everything I could to avoid it from happening. I braked immediately””notes Mr. Matthaiou.
“The police held a meeting with the passengers at the hotel and read them their rights. They have the right to file a lawsuit against the driver as well.”he added.
The lawyer goes on to say how the driver got behind the wheel from Thessaloniki, before he had another driver. He didn’t drive 18 hours.
“My client is still at the suspect stage, he is not being charged”concluded.
