Romanian woman injured in London terror attack dies at hospital

Andreea Cristea, the Romanian woman who fell into the Thames during the London terror attack on March 22, has died at the hospital where she was admitted after the incident. Two Romanians were injured in the terror attack on London’s Westminster bridge, near the British Parliament, namely Andreea Cristea and her boyfriend. They were visiting London and were walking on the bridge when the attacker drove his car over the sidewalk. “After fighting for her life for over two weeks, our beloved and irreplaceable Andreea - wonderful daughter, sister, partner, dedicated friend and the most unique and life loving person you can imagine - was cruelly and brutally ripped away from our lives in the most heartless and spiritless way. She will always be remembered as our shining ray of light that will forever keep on shining in our hearts,” Andreea’s family said in a statement cited by the Metropolitan Police. “Andreea is now unfortunately not able benefit from money that was raised for her recovery, so we would like to donate it to charity. She would not have it any other way.” London mayor Sadiq Khan said on Twitter: “Deeply saddened to hear of the death of Andreea Cristea. Londoners hold her & her loved ones in our thoughts today.” Romanian President talks on the phone with British PM, strongly condemns London terror attack Irina Popescu, irina.popescu@romania-insider.com
