Two 16-year-old teenagers died Saturday morning in a road accident in the village of Fântâna Mare, Suceava County. The car they were in left the road on a bend, hit a bridge abutment and caught fire.
Military firefighters responded with a fire engine, extrication equipment and a SMURD ambulance. When the crews arrived, the car was fully engulfed in flames. After the fire was extinguished, the two victims were found inside, burned beyond recognition.
