Tributes have poured in for two British women who were killed on a dog rescue mission in Romania when their minibus collided with two lorries and a van.
Allison Condon, 61, and Rachael Harvey-Purkiss, 41, died at the scene along with eight dogs.
They have been described as ‘two rare diamonds’.
The pair had been collecting abandoned dogs in Caraș-Severin, in western Romania on the border with Serbia, for UK-based charity Homeward Bound.
However Ms Condon, from Northamptonshire, and Ms Harvey-Purkiss from Essex, were pronounced dead at the scene of the horrific crash, which saw their minibus collide with two HGVs and a van.
