"This was just an accident," says photographer Díana Dreki who received severe injuries to her face when a vehicle she was photographing ran her over.

"He was driving down a very steep slope and I realise that he had lost control of the vehicle. I tried ru run as fast as I could but then I felt the car hit me and I fell onto the rocks."
