Three people were injured by bears in two separate attacks on the Transfăgărășan high-altitude road on Monday, June 8. The victims endangered themselves by approaching the bear, despite numerous official warnings and even fines, Stirileprotv.ro reported.
The first victims were two Portuguese spouses, aged 62 and 53, who wanted to take a photograph with the wild animal. The woman reportedly opened the window and stuck her head out, while the man wanted to capture the image. In a fraction of a second, the bear attacked her. Desperate to save his wife, her partner intervened.
