Overview
- CCTV from Oradea shows the Mercedes clipping a roundabout kerb, vaulting over a bus and two cars, and crashing into a roadside pole on December 3.
- Doctors reported the 49-year-old was unconscious from severe hypoglycaemia and treated for multiple fractures with no life-threatening injuries.
- Police said the driver entered the roundabout the wrong way at high speed, which launched the vehicle into the air.
- The car narrowly missed a large petrol pump near the crash site, avoiding a potentially far more serious outcome.
- Residents and emergency crews extricated the driver, and reporting noted that Romanian and broader EU rules require diabetic drivers to manage hypoglycaemia risk.
