“Ten people, including three children, needed the support of the firemen to be able to continue their journey, after they got stuck in the snow with their cars”, ISU Botoşani announced on Friday morning.
The first intervention took place on the road between Ripiceni and Stânca, where a car containing two adults and a child ended up in the ditch on the side of the road, due to the layer of snow.
Firefighters from the Botoşani Detachment intervened on the scene, with a tracked vehicle. They managed to get the car out of the ditch, and the occupants were able to continue their journey towards Stânca-Costeşti Customs, after the road was cleared by the snow removal machines.
According to CNAIR, road traffic remains closed on DN 24C until 12 o'clock, between the towns of Rădăuți Prut and Manoleasa, Botoşani county, due to the blizzard. Initially, the restriction was announced until 8 o'clock.

The second car was pulled out of the snow, and its occupants managed to return home safely.
