Tragedy Strikes PAOK Fans in Romania: Could Lane Assist Be to Blame?

A tragic accident occurred in Romania involving PAOK fans, as a van carrying seven people collided with a truck, resulting in seven fatalities and three injuries. A survivor reported that the steering wheel jammed due to the lane assist system, however, the function of this system does not prevent driving, but provides gentle assistance. According to analyses, video footage from the crash site shows the driver using turn signals, which deactivates the lane assist. Furthermore, no braking is visible before the collision, reinforcing the possibility of distracted driving. Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident.
