Marcell Murányi, editor-in-chief of Hungary’s largest daily Népszabadság, has resigned over a road accident later leading to death. Murányi said he resigned after “learning from press reports that the man hurt in an accident he had been involved in has died.” Business daily Napi Gazdaság said on Wednesday that Murányi drove over a cyclist in central Budapest just after midnight on March 30.
The cyclist was riding in the outer lane, observing the rules of the road, the paper said. Budapest police questioned Murányi about the circumstances of the accident and he admitted responsibility, but denied intentionally leaving the scene.
The police questioned him as a suspect of a hit-and-run. Online news portal index.hu said on Thursday that the man fell into a coma after the accident and died on April 28.
