The bus driver’s lawyer blames the tragedy on the heavy weight of the metal height limiter.

Eight passengers of the fatal bus continue to be treated in three Bucharest hospitals, two with more serious injuries

Earlier today, 5 people were discharged.

In the meantime the crash has sparked a political controversy in Romania.

A member of the House of Representatives points out that there were three main problems.

The bar with the chains that was before the iron arch is placed in the wrong place.

The arch should be of lighter construction and the recent tunnel works have greatly raised the height of the road.

In fact, according to local Romanian media, from September 4 until today, 7 more traffic accidents have occurred at the tunnel entrance.

The bus driver is facing charges of manslaughter and causing bodily harm to 25 people.

His lawyer blames the tragedy on the heavy weight of the metal height limiter.

While the case file is being prepared, the driver will return to Greece.

According to his lawyer, he will go to Bucharest whenever necessary.

According to the SKAI report, the injured intend to take legal action against both the tourist office and the Romanian authorities.

It is also not clear if the driver had at his disposal a specialized GPS for large vehicles.
