TALLINN - Estonian actor and director Dajan Ahmet, 44, was among three people killed in an horrific head-on collision on the Tallinn-Tartu highway on Nov. 4.
A Hyundai minibus was carrying Ahmet and six other people to the Vanemuine Theater in Tartu, where he was scheduled to perform in a play.
It crashed into a Ford Mondeo carrying four passengers close to the town of Poltsamaa.
The impact killed two people in the sedan, a man of 67 and a woman of 57, and injured two young children who were also in the vehicle.
Ahmet was the only fatality in the minibus. Six of his fellow passengers, several of whom were also actors due to perform, were hospitalised with grave injuries.
