Two women on a mission to rescue 10 dogs died after a minibus, two trucks and a van collided in Romania.

Allison Condon, 61, and Rachael Harvey-Purkiss, 41, were in a minibus driving along the DN6, near the village of Vălișoara, Thursday morning.

The vehicle went on the wrong side of the road and crashed head-on into a lorry, injuring the 60-year-old driver, according to Romanian news outlet Informat.ro.

The lorry hit another HGV, trapping the minibus, before another van crashed into the pile-up.
