A 45-year-old father died after suffering a heart attack while rushing to the scene of a road crash involving his daughter in Romania. Gheorghe was traveling with his wife when they learned their daughter had been involved in a collision, which was described as low impact and resulted in no serious injuries to her.
Details of the Incident
The couple had left their home in the village of Vasile Alecsandri, in Galați County, and were driving along the DN25 near Șendreni when Gheorghe became unwell. Despite feeling seriously ill, he managed to pull the car safely onto the roadside before losing consciousness, preventing another potential collision.
His wife raised the alarm, and passers-by stopped to help. An ambulance crew traveling nearby spotted the incident and pulled over to assist. Paramedics performed CPR for approximately 50 minutes, but Gheorghe could not be revived and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Medical History and Investigation
According to reports, Gheorghe had previously received a heart stent. No other vehicles were involved in the incident, which was treated as a medical emergency rather than a road traffic collision. Traffic was temporarily affected while police attended the scene.
Gheorghe's body has been taken to the Institute of Forensic Medicine, where a post-mortem examination will establish the exact cause of death. His daughter escaped the earlier crash without serious injuries, but relatives and friends have spoken of the family's devastation following his sudden death while trying to reach her. Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
