A man of about 40 died on Wednesday evening, on DN 1C, at Jucu, in Cluj. The emergency inspectorate speaks of two cars. A doctor declared him dead. The cause of the crash is not confirmed.

From the first data, firefighters from Detachment 1 Cluj-Napoca found him trapped, unconscious, with serious injuries. Two extrication engines and a mobile intensive-care SMURD ambulance went out. They got him out of the car. Resuscitation did not hold.

Cluj county police announced a blockage on both directions. That is the traffic. Not the inquiry.

This is not the crash on Bulevardul Muncii, in Cluj-Napoca, involving a motorcycle, also on Wednesday. Another place, another case.

The man's name is not public. Who was at fault is not said. The inspectorate gave the death and the intervention. That is all.

A death and a closed road. Not a cause.
