Romanian MP admits fault in car crash: 'I didn't see the bus'

Romanian Member of Parliament Bogdan Ivan has admitted fault for a car accident that occurred recently in Bistrița, stating he failed to yield to an oncoming bus. The Social Democrat deputy explained the circumstances on Saturday at the Palace of Parliament.

Ivan described how the sun's glare, coming from the direction of the bus, prevented him from seeing the vehicle. "I was to blame because I did not give priority to a bus that I simply did not see," he said. He added that fortunately, he, his family, and his three-year-old child, who was also in the car, sustained only bruises and a significant scare.

I was to blame because I did not give priority to a bus that I simply did not see. The sun was shining from the direction that bus came from and I simply did not see it. Fortunately for me and my family, because my three-year-old child was also in the car, we were left with only a few bruises and a serious scare.

While Ivan and his family escaped serious harm, he acknowledged the potential for a much graver outcome. "It could have been a tragedy. It was, I repeat, my fault because I did not give priority to that bus," he stated. Reports from Vocea Bistriței indicated that Ivan's car collided with a bus traveling legally. The impact severely damaged the front of Ivan's vehicle. The same sources suggested Ivan may have also entered a one-way street from the wrong direction.
