18-year-old Manuela Gorsova, who was left comatose after a fatal car crash caused by world ice-dancing champion Maxim Staviski in August 2007, will be transported to a clinic for rehabilitation in Israel.

Gorsova will be in Israel in the middle of May, father Krassimir Gorsov told reporters and thanked all people who have collected BGN 273,000 in a charity campaign for the victim.

The deadly crash occurred on August 5 last year after Staviiski veered into the opposite lane on a bridge over the Ropotamo River near the coastal city of Burgas and hit headlong into another car with four people riding in it.

At the time of the incident, the skater was driving with 1,29 per mille alcohol content.
