The rain was slick, but there were hundreds of other vehicles on that road that day and the only accident occurred was this one. Probably the driver was not very experienced, this together with the not perfect weather conditions and the accident happened.\" \u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION:  Zurab Devadze, traffic officer \u003cbr/\u003eWille's interpreter, Manana Tsomashvilli, was killed in the accident.\u003cbr/\u003eWille says the Georgian woman was his good friend.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English) \u003cbr/\u003e\"When I was returning I had a tragic accident and my very good friend who I have known for many years was killed in the accident.
