Romanian Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu on Friday confirmed the passing away of the Romanian woman injured in the London attack.

The death brings the number of victims of the attack to five. The woman, Andreea Cristea, 31, was in London on a trip with her boyfriend when the two got caught up in last month's terror attack on Westminster Bridge as a man drove over pedestrians. She was thrown into the Thames after being hit by the car.

She was soon pulled from the river and rushed to the hospital in a critical state.

The woman remained unconscious in hospital until life support was withdrawn, according to media reports.

The woman and her boyfriend were in London to celebrate the latter's birthday and were about to get married. Her partner suffered a broken foot after being mowed down.

Romania's Ambassador in London Dan Mihalache also confirmed the death on Friday.

"She died late last evening," the ambassador said, official Agerpres news agency reported, "We will provide necessary assistance to repatriate the body."

On March 22, a man drove his car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge in London, after which he managed to fatally stab a police officer and attempted to storm the Houses of Parliament, before being shot dead by security. Two of the people injured in the attack also died. A fourth victim died of his wounds in hospital a day after the attack.
