A 25-year-old man accused of hitting two pedestrians in the centre of Chisinau has been arrested for 30 days. The alleged crash happened on 10 November on Grigore Vieru Boulevard in Chisinau, where a Ford driven by the suspect struck two people on a pedestrian crossing. A 30-year-old woman later died from her injuries, while a 21-year-old man is in hospital in a serious condition. Police say the driver fled the scene. The vehicle was identified as an allegedly rented car, and authorities initially found and detained the person who had taken out the rental. However, during questioning, that person claimed the car was handed to another young man. After a photo of the suspected driver was published, police located and detained the 25-year-old suspect. Investigators said he was under the influence of several types of drugs at the time and that he had no driving licence. According to the prosecutor, the charges include driving without a licence and causing the crash involving two pedestrians. The suspect admitted his guilt. His lawyer said he is cooperating with investigators and wants to help the families of the victims. A court ordered the arrest for 30 days starting 10 November. A court hearing was held on 13 November, when the detention order was issued. The investigation continues as the suspect remains in custody.
