A Bolt delivery man, a foreign citizen from Sri Lanka, was seriously injured on Tuesday evening, at the intersection of Piața Avram Iancu and Bulevardul Eroilor. He ran a red light.

The driver of a car coming from Bulevardul Eroilor explained that he left the scene when the light turned green, but the scooterist came and hit him.

“I hit him and actually only heard the hit. He was dressed in black, I heard the shot and that’s it”, said the first driver who hit the Bolt courier.

The scooter crashed into a tree and the courier ended up under another car. “It was green, we all started and the scooter came from here, from this side, to pass in front. He hit him, threw him off the scooter right under Mures’ car“, said a witness, quoted by Observatornews.ro.

The accident occurred on Tuesday evening, April 23, around 10:50 p.m., near the National Theatre. The scooterist entered the intersection on a red light and was hit head on by two cars, and was trapped under one of them.
