Șoferul român care a ucis o triatlonistă din echipa Marii Britanii va fi deportat, la 4 ani după accident

A Romanian van driver, Vasile Barbu, has been sentenced for killing British triathlete Rebecca Comins and will be deported. Barbu struck Comins from behind while she was cycling in June 2022. He was found guilty of dangerous driving after a five-day trial. The judge emphasized the severity of the act, stating it was not an accident but a serious offense. Barbu's van was deemed unfit for the road, contributing to the incident. He has appealed against his deportation, claiming it would be harsh for him and his family, who have settled in the UK since 2002. However, the judge ruled that the public interest in deportation outweighed his family circumstances.
