Fatal Traffic Accident in Botoșani Involving Car and Cart Leaves One Dead and Another Injured: A traffic accident occurred on the county road connecting the town of Flămânzi to the commune of Prăjeni from Sunday night to Monday morning, according to representatives from the Botoșani County Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (ISU).

The accident involved a car and a cart.
