4 people die when car driven by 2014 Miss Romania smashes into cart

Four people including a 5-year-old girl were killed when a car driven by former Miss Romania Diana Dinu, 25, crashed into a horse-drawn cart, when it suddenly pulled out into her path. Four people in the cart died while four others are in a critical condition in hospital.

 

Miss Dinu, who was driving an Audi, was unharmed along with her three passengers. Police say the driver of the cart, Marian Batoaga, 46, was drunk and had pulled out into the road without checking if there was anything coming.

Officers said Miss Dinu was unable to avoid the impact and hit the wooden cart head-on near Haret, in Eastern Romania's Vrancea County. Three of the dead victims were from the same family.

They were named as Dorel Constantin, 52, Corina Constantin, 42, Gabriela Constantin, 5, and Cosmin Rinza, 26. 

County Police spokesman Adrian Huzum said the driver of the cart could face charges for being drunk and irresponsible for the accident and an investigation has since been launched.

Dinu, who was voted Miss Globe Romania 2014, will represent her country in the final stage of the modelling competition this November in Turkey.
