Israeli dies from fall in Romanian mountains
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Romanian rescue official says an Israeli tourist has been killed in a fall in the Fagaras mountains in central Romania.
Nicolae Plesita, head of the Curtea de Arges mountain rescue team, says the unidentified victim is a 45-year-old Israeli man who had been trying to help a member of the group he was walking with.
The man then slipped and fell about 15 to 20 meters (50 to 66 feet), Plesita tells The Associated Press by telephone on Tuesday.
The incident happened Monday in bad weather in the Valea lui Stan area, known as a beautiful spot which is difficult to access.
Plesita says the victim was accompanied by two women and another man, all from Israel. They are rescued and questioned about the incident Tuesday morning.
