POLICE are still appealing for witnesses to a road accident on the A38 at Whiteball in the early hours of Sunday morning, July 23, which claimed the lives of two young Romanians.

Nicu Manea, 23, and Alex Pintea, 20, died when their car collided with another vehicle.

A fundraising effort has now been launched to help repatriate their bodies back to their home country.

Friend Lungi Mihai, who grew up with Mr Manea, said money raised would be split between the families of both men.
