A Romanian truck driver was declared dead by mistake after an accident in Germany

A Romanian truck driver, settled in Sanremo, Italy, had a bizarre surprise when he found out from the newspapers that he was said to have died in a road accident on a highway in Germany. To reassure his family and colleagues, he posted two videos on social media, explaining that he is alive and expressing his condolences for the two colleagues who died in the accident.

The tragedy occurred on the A44 highway, due to a layer of ice on the roadway, and resulted in the death of two drivers from the company Ciesse Flower Export. The confusion arose because the identity of one of the victims, a man from the Republic of Moldova, had not been established immediately, and a local newspaper published incorrect information. The Romanian driver reacted calmly, wanting to clarify the situation and honor the memory of the deceased.
