A third-party truck hooked the wire of the electric contact network of the trams. As it fell, the cable hit the woman on the sidewalk, who was immediately assisted by a SMURD crew.

STB established two shuttle bus lines to pick up passengers: 601- between the Romprim terminal and the Obor intersection; 623 – between the Faur terminal and the intersection of Nerva Traian Street and Octavian Goga Boulevard.
STB representatives recommend passengers to avoid the area until trams resume.
